How to Make a Fermented Hibiscus Pineapple Drink for Cycle Support
You’re going to love this if you’ve been craving something that feels both luxurious and deeply healing. Lately, I’ve been making fermented drinks with my ginger bug—and trust me, once you start, you’ll never look at wellness the same way again.
It’s fizzy. It’s alive. It’s medicine you can sip.
And when you infuse it with herbs that nourish your body from the inside out? That’s when your daily drink becomes a ritual.
This fermented hibiscus pineapple drink is the ultimate in wellness. You’ll feel it in your whole system:
Ingredients for Your Fermented Hibiscus Pineapple Drink:
Hibiscus — supports liver detox and gives you that glow-from-within skin.
Pineapple peel — boosts digestion and adds juicy enzymes.
Pomegranate peel — womb-supportive and rich in antioxidants.
Cinnamon — stabilizes blood sugar and warms your centre.
Ginger — gets things moving and helps lower inflammation.
Quick Contraindications
Pregnant or trying to conceive? Use hibiscus and pomegranate peel with caution—they may stimulate the uterus in larger amounts.
Taking medications? Pineapple and pomegranate peels can interact with certain meds due to their enzyme and antioxidant activity.
Sensitive stomach or reflux? Ginger and pineapple may be too stimulating—start with small sips.
Always listen to your body, and when in doubt, check with your care provider.
The Process:
Prepare your ingredients: Start by chopping your pineapple peel and collecting the hibiscus flowers, pomegranate peel, and cinnamon. You’ll want them in small, manageable pieces for easy fermentation.
Start the fermentation process: In a glass jar, combine the pineapple peel, hibiscus, pomegranate peel, cinnamon, and ginger. Add water and your ginger bug (if you’re not sure how to make your own ginger bug, click here for a step-by-step guide!).
Let it ferment: Cover the jar with a clean cloth and leave it in a warm spot for 3-5 days. During this time, the drink will ferment and get bubbly as the wild yeasts work their magic.
Strain and bottle: After fermentation, strain out the solids and transfer your drink into bottles for storage. You can enjoy it as is or refrigerate it for an extra cool, refreshing sip.
Why It Supports Your Cycle:
This drink isn’t just a treat for your taste buds. It’s designed to support your cycle—especially in the luteal phase when you might need a little extra TLC. Here's why each ingredient is a powerhouse for your body:
Hibiscus is a key player for detoxifying the liver, supporting hormonal balance, and giving your skin that beautiful glow.
Pineapple peel and pomegranate peel work together to support digestion and help maintain your womb health with rich antioxidants and anti-inflammatory properties.
Cinnamon stabilizes blood sugar and can help reduce bloating, while ginger brings warmth and aids in reducing any inflammation you might feel during the luteal phase.
This drink is tangy, tart, and a little spicy—just like you during your luteal phase. And it’s not just a drink; it’s a message to your body:
“I see you. I honour you. Let me pour into you the way you’ve poured into everything else.”
By sipping this, you’re nurturing your body, helping to ease inflammation, and enhancing digestion. Every sip serves as a reminder to connect back with yourself and your body’s needs.
