200
grams
Piloncillo or Brown Sugar
10
Cloves
1
Cinnamon Stick
5
Ginger Slices
optional
Instructions
Cut the top and bottom off the pineapple, stand it up to remove the rind, then cut off the inner core and save the fruit for eating.
Add the pineapple rinds to a 1/2 gallon jar that will fit them all nicely.
Add the ginger (optional), cinnamon, cloves and sugar.
Pour in enough water to over all the ingredients.
Cover with a clean cloth and let sit at room temperature for 48 hours.
Strain the liquid into a strong tightly sealed glass bottle and let rest in the refrigerator for several days to get slightly carbonated.
Notes
Serve your Tepache in a small glass by itself, poured together with a nice beer, or mix it into a cocktail!
