Ingredients
  

2 cups fresh pineapple, peeled and chopped

1 medium cucumber, peeled and chopped

4 cups cold water

3 tablespoons lime juice (freshly squeezed for best flavor)

2-3 tablespoons agave syrup or honey (adjust to taste)

A pinch of salt

Fresh mint leaves for garnish

Ice cubes (optional)

Instructions
 

Blend the Base: In a blender, combine the chopped pineapple and cucumber with 2 cups of cold water. Blend on high speed until smooth.

    Strain the Mixture: Using a fine mesh strainer or a cheesecloth, strain the blended mixture into a pitcher to remove the pulp. Press down lightly to extract as much juice as possible.

      Mix in the Flavors: Add the remaining 2 cups of cold water, lime juice, agave syrup (or honey), and a pinch of salt to the strained pineapple-cucumber juice. Stir well to combine all the flavors.

        Taste and Adjust: Taste your agua fresca and adjust the sweetness by adding more agave syrup or honey if desired.

          Serve: Fill glasses with ice cubes if you prefer a chilled drink. Pour the agua fresca over the ice and garnish with fresh mint leaves.

            Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy the refreshing taste of tropical paradise!
