Homemade tepache: zesty fermented pineapple drink, a taste of Mexico's vibrant street food scene.
Ingredients:
  • 1 whole pineapple
  • 1 (1 inch) piece fresh ginger
  • 1 cup brown sugar
  • 2 habanero peppers, halved
  • 1 teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 8 cups water at room temperature
Instructions:
  • Cut the pineapple, including the rind, into small pieces. Optionally, remove the woody core. Place the pineapple in a large container like a Mason jar with a flat lid that allows gas to escape while keeping the mixture slightly airtight to avoid vinegar formation.
  • Gently crush ginger with the side of a knife to release its flavors. Combine ginger, brown sugar, habanero peppers, cinnamon, and water in a container. Stir well, cover, and let sit in a warm place for 2 days until the mixture becomes slightly fizzy and warm.
  • Using a fine-meshed sieve, strain the mixture into fermentation-grade bottles. Seal, refrigerate, and enjoy within 1 week. Be cautious as the tepache may continue to carbonate in the bottles and could potentially explode if left too long.
