Tepache: A Traditional Fermented Pineapple Beverage
  1. In a 2-quart jar, combine 4 cups of water and 1 cup of brown sugar.

  2. Remove the skin and core, and add them to the jar. Add a few pieces of fresh pineapple.

  3. Seal the jar with a fermentation burping lid or cover it with cheesecloth, or use a plastic lid and leave it slightly loose.

  4. Place the jar in a pantry or a cool, dark place for 3 to 4 days to allow fermentation. I place it in a shallow dish incase it bubbles over.

  5. After fermentation, a foam layer may form on top. Skim off the foam using a spoon.

  6. Strain the liquid to separate it from the pineapple solids, which you can compost.

  7. Keep your Tepache in the refrigerator and consume within 2 weeks.

  8. Enjoy the refreshing and tangy flavor of your homemade tepache! It's like pineapple soda pop but good for you.
