Ingredients & Substitutions
Fresh turmeric can be a bit tricky to find, but it’s worth the hunt! If you can’t find it, you can use 1 teaspoon of ground turmeric instead, but fresh is so much more vibrant. The ginger gives it a lovely spicy kick, which I think complements the sweetness of the pineapple beautifully.
Tips & Notes
- •I like to keep my fresh turmeric in a paper bag in the fridge—it stays fresh longer that way.
- •If you want an extra zing, feel free to add a pinch of cayenne pepper—it’s a fun twist!
Recipe Variations
- •Sometimes, I’ll add a splash of coconut milk for a creamier version—so good!
- •If I’m feeling adventurous, I’ll toss in a few slices of jalapeño for a spicy kick!
Storage & Freezing
Store any leftovers in an airtight container in the fridge for up to five days. You can also freeze it in ice cube trays for a quick refreshing addition to smoothies later on!

Ingredients
Instructions
- 1
Start by peeling and chopping your fresh turmeric and ginger. I like to use a small knife for this—it makes it easier to get the skin off.
- 2
In a medium saucepan, combine the chopped turmeric, ginger, and water. Bring it to a gentle boil over medium heat.
- 3
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10 minutes. This helps to extract all those lovely flavors and nutrients.
- 4
After simmering, strain the mixture into a large bowl or pitcher. I use a fine mesh strainer to catch all the bits, but a cheesecloth works great too.
- 5
Now, add the pineapple chunks and lime juice to the strained liquid. If you have a blender, you can blend this until smooth—it adds a nice creaminess.
- 6
Stir in the coconut nectar and black pepper. Give it a taste and adjust the sweetness as needed.
- 7
Serve it chilled or warm, garnished with fresh mint leaves. Pour it into your favorite glasses and enjoy the tropical vibes!
