Homemade Tepache With Warming Spices

If you’re a fan of fermented drinks like kombucha, you may have already discovered tepache. This delicious fermented pineapple drink began with pre-conquest Mesoamerican civilizations who fermented corn to create a nutritious beverage. After the Spanish conquest, pineapples were imported to Central Mexico and added to the fermentation process, probably as a sweetener. Today, tepache is 100% pineapple with warming spices and dark cane sugar. It contains a wealth of probiotics, vitamins, and minerals. And best yet, you can make tepache at home with the skin and core of a pineapple and spices like allspice, cinnamon, star anise, and mace. Serve this easy recipe over ice for a healthful, refreshing summer beverage.
