Recipe Notes

* Smell the pineapple when purchasing.  You should pick up a sweet flavor.  The stronger the smell, the riper the fruit.  Also, do not throw away the core of the pineapple, as it can be used in your infused water.  This is what I did to make this Pineapple Mint Infused Water.  I froze the core of my pineapple in a resealable bag.  I then added the whole frozen pineapple core to the water when I made this recipe.

** Do not use hot water!  Hot water destroys the enzymes and vitamins in fruits and vegetables.  Hot water will also make you fruit or vegetables fall apart and look a lot less pretty.  So, be sure to use cold water!
