Ingredients

1 pineapple, peeled, cored, and coarsely chopped
1 2-inch knob ginger, peeled and diced (2 ounces or 60 grams)
1 lime, juiced
1 cup (236ml) simple syrup (optional)
5-6 cups (1-1½L) water
ice as needed

Instructions

Peel, core, and chop the pineapple, then put it in a blender.
Scrape the ginger skin off with a spoon, dice it, and add it to the blender.
Squeeze the lime juice into the blender, add the optional sugar and 2-3 cups of water, and puree.
Add enough water to get the desired consistency, add ice to a pitcher or glasses, pour the juice over the ice, and enjoy.

Notes

You can skip peeling ginger if it's organic because it doesn't change the flavor.
An average pineapple normally gives you 1½-2½ cups of juice.
I used fresh pineapple in this recipe, but store-bought pineapple juice works just fine when pressed for time.
Sugar doesn't dissolve well in cold liquid. So if you want to sweeten the juice, simmer a cup of water with a cup of sugar until the sugar completely dissolves. Allow it to cool, then add as much as you need to sweeten the juice to taste.
