    Feeling under the weather with a scratchy throat? Our latest creation, pineapple juice for sore throat, might be the soothing remedy you're looking for.

    Packed with the goodness of bromelain, an enzyme found in pineapples known for its anti-inflammatory properties, this juice is a natural approach to ease throat discomfort. Perfect for those seeking a refreshing, plant-based option to alleviate throat irritation, our recipe is a harmonious blend of flavor and health benefits.

    In our journey to create healthy juice recipes that delight the palate and promote well-being, we drew inspiration from our cherished pineapple ginger juice.

    Infusing the vibrant flavors of pineapple and ginger with the zing of lemon and the subtle heat of cayenne pepper, we've transformed a simple juice into a soothing powerhouse. It's a vivid example of how combining familiar ingredients with a twist can elevate a recipe from refreshing to comforting and health-supportive.

    🧾 Ingredients

    The ingredients that make this juice SO good are:

    labeled ingredients to make pineapple juice for sore throat.
    • Fresh Pineapple: Brimming with bromelain, this fruit is key for its anti-inflammatory properties and sweet, tangy flavor.
    • Ginger Root: Known for its soothing qualities, ginger adds a spicy kick, aiding digestion and reducing throat irritation.
    • Cayenne Pepper: A pinch adds warmth and boosts circulation, complementing the juice with its subtle heat.
    • Lemon: Rich in vitamin C, lemon brings a refreshing zest and helps balance the sweetness of the pineapple.

    See the recipe card for quantities.

    Substitutions

    • Fresh Pineapple: Use canned pineapple in natural juice for convenience, though fresh is preferred for optimal flavor and nutrients.
    • Ginger Root: Ground ginger can be a quick alternative; use ½ teaspoon to replace 1 inch of fresh ginger.
    • Cayenne Pepper: Red chili flakes can substitute cayenne pepper, offering a similar heat profile.
    • Lemon: Lime offers a similar citrusy zing and can be used in equal amounts as a substitute for lemon.

    🍽 Equipment

    You will need a cold-press juicer or blender.

    🔪 Instructions

    To make this comforting juice, start by washing your fresh ingredients thoroughly.

    chopped pineapple and peeled lemon.

    Step 1: After thoroughly washing all your ingredients, peel the lemon and cut the ingredients into sizeable chunks suitable for your juicer.

    pouring juice from the juicer.

    Step 2: Place the chunks into the cold-press juicer. Use the pusher if necessary to aid the juicing process.

    juice pulp and juice in juicers' separate containers.

    Step 3: Serve and enjoy the juice fresh. Don't discard the pulp – it's great for baking, making coconut pineapple balls, or adding to smoothies! See our post on what to do with juice pulp.

    See the recipe card for making the juice using a blender.

    Hint: The blender method provides a higher yield, but the juice will be less concentrated than the juicer method.

    💡 Expert Tips

    Optimal Ripeness: Use a ripe pineapple for the best balance of sweetness and acidity. A ripe pineapple has a sweet aroma at the base and gives slightly to pressure.

    Ginger Proportions: Adjust the amount of ginger according to your preference for spice. Start with a small amount and increase as desired.

    Cayenne Caution: Be conservative with cayenne pepper. A little goes a long way, and adding more is easier than fixing an overly spicy juice.

    Straining Technique: Using a blender, strain the juice with a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth for a smoother texture. Press or squeeze gently to extract maximum juice.

    🥡 Storage

    Refrigeration:

    • Store in Fridge: Pour any leftover juice into an airtight container and refrigerate. It's best enjoyed within two days for optimal freshness.
    • Fresh is Best: While refrigeration keeps the juice good, remember that fresh juice always tastes better.

    Freezing:

    • Freeze for Later: If you have more juice than you can drink in a couple of days, freeze it in an ice cube tray or freezer-safe container. It's perfect for smoothies or thawing at a later time.
    • Thawing Tips: Thaw frozen juice in the refrigerator overnight or at room temperature for a few hours.

    ❓ FAQ

    Is this juice suitable for children?

    Absolutely! Just be mindful of the cayenne pepper if serving it to children, as it might be too spicy for them. Also, consider using less ginger.

    Can I add sweeteners to this juice?

    Yes, if you prefer a sweeter taste, feel free to add a bit of agave syrup or your preferred vegan sweetener.

    Is this juice effective for all types of sore throats?

    While this juice can help soothe a sore throat due to its ingredients, it's always advisable to consult a healthcare professional for persistent or severe sore throats.
