Pineapple Mint cubes

Tropical, refreshing, and ready in 5 minutes

These pineapple mint cubes bring instant freshness to your water, iced tea, or cocktails. The pineapple adds natural sweetness, the mint keeps it cool and crisp.

What you need

• 1 cup fresh pineapple chunks
• 1 handful fresh mint leaves
• 1/2 cup water or coconut water
• Optional: a squeeze of lime

How to make it

1. Roughly chop the pineapple into chunks
2. Wash the mint leaves
3. Blend pineapple, mint, and water until smooth
4. Add lime juice if using
5. Pour into ice cube trays
6. Freeze for at least 4 hours

Why this works

No cooking, no added sugar. The pineapple is sweet enough on its own. Drop a cube into sparkling water for instant flavor, or add to smoothies for a tropical boost.

Practical tip: Use ripe pineapple for maximum sweetness. If your pineapple is too tart, add a tiny bit of honey before blending. Fresh mint works best, but you can use less if the flavor is too strong for you.
