Pineapple peels that would usually be discarded are steeped slowly with cinnamon to make this traditional Cuban drink that helps reduce waste. Meat-free and compatible with a fish-eating diet, it is also suitable for pescatarians.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Prepare the peels

10 min

Wash the pineapple peels thoroughly and cut into large pieces.

2

Boil the mixture

15 min

Put the peels, cinnamon stick, sugar and water in a pot. Bring to a boil and continue boiling for 15 minutes.

3

Leave to steep

60 min

Remove from the heat, cover and leave to steep at room temperature for 60 minutes.

4

Reminder

Wash the pineapple peels thoroughly to remove all soil and dirt. The longer the drink steeps, the more pronounced its flavor becomes, so do not rush it.
