Pineapple Water

IngridH's Note:

When I was in Hawaii, the hotel I stayed in always had a large dispenser of this water in the lobby, to help rehydrate the guests after they spent too much time on the beach. I found it to be much more refreshing than plain water, as the fruit adds a very subtle sweet taste. A great recipe if you're trying to get more water into your diet. This will not taste like fruit juice, it's meant to be a very lightly flavored water. If you don't have a large drink dispenser, try making 1/2 recipe in a sun tea jar.

I cut my pineapple into bug chunks. I wonder if cutting into wee bits so a little lands in your glass would be nice? probably not if you're the type to NOT like extra pulp OJ. ;) this is wonderfully refreshing & exactly as your note said - it is not juice and it's fabulous for adding more water to your diet if you don't like plain water. I wonder what the pineapple is like when the water is gone and also how many tines can you refill with water? I will let you know because there's a big pitcher in my fridge..... thanks, teammate! made for Emerald City Shakers ZWT7!

You're right, this adds a subtle taste which is just right- not as sweet as juice but healthier and more refreshing. This makes a lovely change and I'll be making this whenever I have some pineapple around! Made for PRMR.

What a great idea this is! I used pineapple slices in the bottom of a pitcher and filled it up with water and ice. This was really refreshing and a nice change from lemon water. Great for a nice warm day. Thanks Ingrid for a nice treat. Made for ZWT7 by a fellow Emerald City Shaker.
