Pineapple Ginger Syrup (Starbucks recipe)
This delicious and easy Pineapple Ginger syrup is a simple 3-ingredient recipe that allows you to recreate your Starbucks drinks at home, saving you both time and money! Many recipes use pineapple juice and ginger juice, which is expensive or hard to find, so I've also shown how to use readily available canned pineapple and fresh ginger.

Ingredients
Quantities are shown as originally provided.
- 1 can pineapple (Drained weight: 340g (12oz)/ with syrup 565g (19.9oz) Substitute: 1 fresh pineapple or Pineapple Juice)
- 3 slices fresh ginger
- 2 Cups water
- ⅔ Cup white sugar
Instructions
- 1
Add the pineapple, syrup and ginger into the blender. Cover and blitz for 1-2 minutes till it becomes a pulpy liquid.
- 2
Pour the sugar into a small pot. Place a sieve over the pot and carefully pour the blended pineapple through it. You will need to use a spoon to push the liquid through.
- 3
There will be a lot of pulp left in the blender. Pour the water into the blender, cover and blend again till you get all the bits.
- 4
Pour this through the strainer from the previous step. Do it slowly or it'll spill out of the pot. Compress the pulp with a spoon so you get all the liquid out.
- 5
Over medium heat, slowly bring the fruit juice to a boil. (Melted sugar is very hot so we don't want it to bubble and splash us.) Stir so that all the sugar dissolves into the liquid.
- 6
Once the sugar has dissolved, you can increase the heat to medium high and allow the solution to boil till it has reduced to about 2 Cups (or your desired consistency.) Note: This can take anything from 25 minutes to 1 hour depending on how high a heat you use!
