Peel and save peels (this recipe is about pineapple peels).
Put the peels into the pot with sugar ( you can use honey, maple syrup or stevia just add to the drained liquid ), ginger and cinnamon stick, cover with water and boil for 30-40 minutes.
Drain and let cool.
Rest of pineapple cut into the cubes and frizz, use them like ice cubes for a drink, rest is for smoothies.
To make the drink, for every cup of pineapple juice add 1cup carbonated water.
