Health Benefits and hacks:

Pineapple is a rich source of potassium, and this sorbet is a tasty way to restore the depleted and imbalanced electrolytes in the body, a problem very common in summers. Add some mint and rosemary leaves while blending the pineapple and garnish with a sprig mint on top, to make it more colourful and turn this simple recipe into a restaurant-style pineapple sorbet. You can also add lemon or lime zest to make this pineapple sorbet recipe tangier and more refreshing. Replacing sugar with honey will not only reduce the calories and damage caused by processed white sugar but will also enhance the flavours of this tangy recipe. Add coconut water to the pineapple while blending to oomph up the tropical flavours and keep the body hydrated. Mix lemon juice with honey and add a few strands of saffron or few drops of beetroot juice and drizzle this syrup on top of the sorbet. The exciting colours will attract kids towards this homemade sorbet, rather than the street vendor’s snow cone. You can also add orange juice, grapefruit juice or any other citrus fruit to make this recipe tastier and healthier.
