Notes
- Use filtered water for the best clean taste. Tap water might have chemicals that affect flavor.
- Fresh pineapple juice gives better results than concentrate. You can juice half a large pineapple for homemade juice.
- For a keto-friendly version, substitute sugar with a granulated sweetener like stevia or monk fruit.
- Adjust sweetness by adding more or less sugar based on your preference and the sweetness of your juice.
- This recipe makes about five cups of tea, with each serving being approximately one cup per person.
