Ingredients

1 Cup Pineapple Fresh or canned, cut into ½ inch chunks. This is about 5 canned pineapple rounds or 5.98 oz/ 186g of pineapple. You need to cut the pineapple, as larger pieces would mean you can fit less into 1 cup. If you're going to weigh the fruit, you can skip the cutting. Substitute: 1 cup of pure pineapple juice. You can also substitute this AND the ginger with pineapple ginger syrup.

1 Cup Unsweetened coconut milk You can mix 76g/ 2.68oz of coconut cream with 152g/5.36 oz of water. Substitute: 1 cup of shop bought coconut milk but it may be less creamy. Alternatively, use a milk of your choice.

2 teaspoon Matcha powder Do not substitute with green tea as the flavor and color are different.

⅛-½ teaspoon Ginger powder Different ginger powders have different levels of spice, depending on how old they are etc, so start with the smallest amount (⅛ teaspoon) and work your way up if you find you can't taste the ginger. Substitute: freshly squeezed ginger juice, to taste

Ice cubes, optional You can freeze your pineapple before blending if you want an icy drink but don't have any ice cubes on hand.

sugar, optional and to taste Only necessary if your pineapple isn't ripe (or you have a very sweet tooth.) If using tinned pineapple, you can use the syrup from the tin to sweeten your drink.
