              COOKING

              PREPARATION WITH A JUICER

              1. Cut the skin off the pineapple and cut the flesh into sticks. Place half of the pineapple in the juicer. This corresponds to approx. 400g (14 oz) of pineapple without the peel.
              2. Put the 4 apples into the juicer next.
              3. Add the fresh mint to the juicer last.
              4. Now pour all the juices obtained into a glass.

              PREPARATION WITH A BLENDER & A FINE SIEVE

              1. We need about half of the pineapple. This corresponds to approx. 400 g (14 oz) pineapple without the peel. Cut the skin off the pineapple and apples. Place the peeled pineapple and apples in the blender.
              2. Pluck the mint leaves and add to the blender.
              3. Puree everything for 30 seconds on the highest setting. Now pass the whole mixture through a fine sieve. If you like the pulp, you can of course skip this step.
              4. Pour the juice into a glass bottle.
