- ½ cup (120 milliliters / 4 fl oz) ice
- 1 pineapple, chopped
- ¼ lemon
- 1 banana (optional)
- 1 pear (optional)
- Mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Preparation: Skillfully strip the pineapple’s exterior, transforming the golden fruit into precise, uniform cubes with surgical precision.
- Blending Technique: Cascade pineapple pieces, lemon juice, and filtered water into a high-performance blender, creating a dynamic liquid fusion through intense pulsing for 45-60 seconds until achieving a velvety, seamless consistency.

- Straining Technique: Use a fine-mesh strainer to remove pulp, ensuring a crystal-clear, silky-smooth beverage with refined texture.
- Ice Preparation: Opt for crushed or small ice cubes to maximize rapid chilling and create a more refreshing drinking experience.
