  • mint

Instructions

Working time approx. 20 minutes; Total time approx. 20 minutes

Pineapple-ginger drink from Senegal

Blend the finely diced ginger with half a liter of water. Then strain it through a fine sieve, pressing the ginger puree firmly against the bottom of the sieve. Mix the squeezed ginger juice with the lime juice, the remaining half a liter of water, pineapple juice, and the cane sugar. Serve very cold, garnished with mint leaves. Tip: The cane sugar should be as finely ground as possible so it dissolves quickly—that’s why I turn it into powdered sugar before blending.
