Nam Sapparot (Fresh Pineapple Juice)
น้ำสับปะรด
Fresh pineapple is optimal for the best flavor. In a pinch, you can use frozen or canned pineapple. You can replace seltzer water for the last two cups of water for a fizzy drink.
Recipe Ingredients:
- 2 cups of fresh pineapple chunks
- 2 cups of sugar
- 2 cups of water
- 1/4 cup of fresh lime juice (preferably kaffir limes)
- 2 cups of water
Recipe Steps:
- In a medium saucepan, bring 2 cups of sugar and 2 cups of water to a boil; simmer until the sugar is dissolved, 3 minutes; this will create a simple syrup.
- Add the fresh pineapple to the syrup and boil for 1 minute.
- Remove from the heat and let cool completely for 2 hours.
- In a blender or food processor, puree the pineapple and simple syrup mixture. You can either puree it until completely smooth; or, you can keep the consistency chunky. Pour into a pitcher.
- Add lime juice and 2 cups of water to the pitcher. Sweeten as needed with sugar. If you prefer a more tart flavor, add more lime juice.
- Refrigerate and serve with ice.
