I love making this Pineapple Lemonade because it’s a refreshing mix of sweet pineapple and tangy lemon—just right for hot days! I simply blend fresh pineapple with lemon juice and a bit of sugar, then strain it and mix with cold water. Pour it over ice and add some lemon slices and pineapple chunks for a fun look and extra flavor. It’s perfect for family gatherings, picnics, or any time I need a cooling drink!
Health Benefits of My Pineapple Lemonade
