This easy, refreshing punch will be a hit at your next party! Ginger, lime, and cloves add an extra kick to the sweet taste of fresh pineapple. This is a great way to use your pineapple peels!
1 ripe pineapple
2 limes, sliced, plus extra for garnish
1-inch piece of ginger root, sliced
3 whole cloves
4 cups water
agave nectar to taste
Thickly peel the pineapple with your knife. Use the flesh for another recipe (or eat alone). Place the peels in a large bowl along with the lime, ginger, and cloves.
Boil the water and pour it over the fruit. Allow to sit for 24 hours.
Strain out the fruit and discard it. Sweeten the strained liquid with agave nectar. Serve over ice with a garnish of sliced lime.
