Peruvian Fruit Beverage Recipes

Peruvians have developed ways to not let anything go to waste in their cooking. Here are some fun fruity options my husband taught me about...

Pineapple Skin Juice

1. Cut up whatever you didn't eat from a pineapple (in my case I didn't eat the whole thing because it was a juicing pineapple - no sweet flavor so not fun to eat all by itself)

2. Boil it with a bit of ginger or cloves or cinnamon, depending on what you like.

3. Use a strainer to separate the rinds from the juice.
4. Add sugar as needed.

5. Enjoy it hot, room temperature, or cool it down in the fridge.

Orange Skin Cider

*said that this helps with digestion and weight loss*

1. Take just the skins off the oranges. 

2. Boil them with a bit of cloves and cinnamon and remove the orange skins just after 5 minutes of boiling (if you let the skins set an overpowering bitter flavor will develop). 

3. Add sugar as needed

4. Enjoy it hot.
