Pineapple Tepache image

This is a recipe my boyfriend brought with him from Mexico. He said it was very refreshing and they made it a lot back home (Mexico). I have to agree with him on it. I really like the taste! Serve over ice.

Yield 12

Number Of Ingredients 5

1 large ripe fresh pineapple
1 ½ gallons water
2 cups brown sugar
1 medium apple, cored and sliced
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon

Steps:

  • Wash and remove the pineapple crown. Carefully remove the rind and set aside. Cut one 1/2-inch slice of pineapple and set it aside for this recipe. Reserve remaining pineapple for a different use.
  • Place the pineapple rind in a large pot with water, brown sugar, apple slices, and cinnamon over medium-high heat; bring to a boil. Boil for about 15 minutes. Turn off heat and allow mixture to cool to room temperature, about 30 minutes.
  • Add pineapple slice, cover, and allow to sit at room temperature until tepache has fermented to the desired degree, about 36 hours.
  • Strain tepache though a sieve in order to remove solids and store drink covered in the refrigerator.
