How About A Sweet Treat?

There is a delicious juice that is served here in central Brazil, made from pineapple and fresh mint. It is very easy to make, and is one of the most refreshing drinks I can think of, aside from good, sweet Texas Tea.

Suco de Abacaxi e Hortelã - Pinapple & Mint Juice

Ingredients:
1 Pineapple - chilled
15-20 Mint leaves
1 8oz. cup of ice chips
1 8oz. cup of water

Directions:
1. Grab a chilled, fresh pinapple and remove the spines.
2. Cut pinapple into large pieces, and place into blender.
3. Add mint leaves to pinapple.
4. Add cup of water.
5. Add ice chips.
6. If the pineapple isn't very sweet, add sweetener to taste.
7. Blend until smooth and frothy.

Pronto! It's ready. Depending on your preference for juice with pulp, or sans... you can strain out the pulp, or drink it with... It's good both ways.

Enjoy!
