Instructions
Peel pineapple. If you plan to drink your pineapple water on its own, without any other flavoring or sweetener, leave a little bit of flesh on the rinds so the flavor is more concentrated.
Boil. Put the pineapple peels in a large saucepan and fill it with water. Let it boil for 15 minutes.
Cool down. Let the infused pineapple water cool down if planning to drink it as a cold drink. Then transfer it to a bottle and then to the fridge; otherwise you can serve it hot as a cup of tea.

Notes
To have more pineapple flavor you can add one or two chunks of fresh pineapple chunks to the boiling water, or simply use less water to let the flavors concentrate more.
