Notes
How to tell if a pineapple is ripe: Smell the bottom of the fruit. When you put it near your nose, it should smell like pineapple. Also, look for a small amount of “give” when you squeeze it gently.
To make a diabetic-friendly version: Use Stevia or sugar substitute.
How long does Agua Fresca last: It lasts in the fridge up to 3 days. If frozen, it can last for up to a year.
