How to make Tepache

I love making this fermented drink because it uses pineapple skins which I otherwise would have thrown out. An Instagram follower suggested that I ma
ke this and I am hooked. It is so easy to make I can't believe I can make this probiotic rich drink without a scoby. It is delicious. Some people call it pineapple beer.
Ingredients
Skins of 1 pineapple
1/2 cup of brown sugar
1 cinnamon stick
a knob of ginger sliced
cloves (optional)
water
Put all the ingredients in a glass vessel. I used a 2L glass vessel. Fill with water leaving about an inch from the top. Mix well and make sure all the pieces of pineapple are submerged. Cover it with a breathable top and elastic. I used a towel. Mix everyday making sure the pineapple skin are not sticking out of the water. Where I live it ferments in 5 days during the summertime and 10 days in winter. After the 1st fermentation it is time to bottle it up. I use EZ bottles which are especially made for fermentation. I let that sit outside of the fridge for another 2-3 days. Place it in the fridge before you open it!
The result is sweet, slightly sour and bubly. I love it so much and I hope you do too. Let me know if you try it!

To prevent the overflow of bubbles/fizz, degas once a day.

What’s the benefits of it? If any or just a drink?

Similar to kombucha or fermented foods it is filled with good bacteria great for digestion and gut health ♥️

Do you have to add sugar? 🎉

[@eco.amical]

Yes the natural bacteria and yeast on the pineapple skins need sugar to eat and ferment it. The final product is not too sweet
