For the Ginger Juice:
100g fresh ginger
1l water
sugar, to taste
To Serve
800ml pineapple juice

Peel the ginger and grate finely (reserve any juice). Place the ginger and juice in a heat-proof bowl pour over 1l boiling water. Cover and set aside to steep for 60 minutes.
After this time, pour the juice through a fine-meshed sieve lined with a double layer of muslin (or through a coffee filter). Sweeten the juice to taste then allow to cool and chill in the refrigerator over night.
