Pineapple Aide

If you want to cool down in this brutal summer heat. Do it with a tall glass of delicious pineapple aide.  It is made with real pineapple so you wont get all those preservatives from the can.  In that case it is healthier, and less calories.  Best of all it is easily prepared.  All you need is a ripe pineapple, water, and sugar to taste.  Simple and thrust quencher.

The raw pineapple can be replaced by a can of crushed pineapple but I prefer not to because of the preservatives that a can contains.
