Are you feeling adventurous and want to try something new? How about making your own Tepache, a traditional Mexican beverage bursting with flavor and history? In this step-by-step guide, we will take you through the entire process of making Tepache right in your own kitchen. Let’s get started!

Gather the Ingredients

  • 1 ripe pineapple
  • 2 piloncillos (Mexican unrefined sugar cones) or 1 cup brown sugar
  • 3 cinnamon sticks
  • 5 cloves
  • 5 cups water
  • Optional: additional fruits like apple or pear

Prepare the Pineapple

Begin by peeling the pineapple and removing the tough core. Cut the pineapple into small chunks or slices, whichever you prefer, and set them aside in a large bowl.

Create the Tepache Base

In a large jar or pitcher, add the piloncillos (or brown sugar), cinnamon sticks, and cloves. If you want to experiment with flavors, this is the perfect moment to add other fruits like apple or pear to the mix. Pour in the water, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.

Fermentation Time

Now it’s time to add the pineapple to the Tepache base. Make sure the pineapple is completely submerged in the liquid, as this will aid the fermentation process. Cover the jar or pitcher with a clean cloth or plastic wrap, allowing it to breathe, and let it sit at room temperature for 2-3 days.

Straining and Bottling

After the fermentation period, strain the liquid to remove any fruit solids or spices. Transfer the Tepache into glass bottles with airtight lids. You can store it in the refrigerator for up to a week or let it continue fermenting for additional tartness and fizziness.

Serving and Enjoying

Tepache is typically enjoyed over ice with a squeeze of fresh lime juice. You can also experiment by adding a splash of rum or tequila for a spirited twist. Don’t forget to garnish it with a slice of fresh pineapple or a sprig of mint. Cheers!

To sum it up, making Tepache is a fun and refreshing adventure that brings a taste of Mexican tradition straight to your glass. So, why not give it a try? Gather the ingredients, follow our step-by-step guide, and experience the flavors of this delightful drink. Salud!
