Tepache is a traditional Mexican fermented drink easy to prepare. It is usually made with pineapple peel for a zero waste version, but it can also be made with chai. Tepache is usually fermented for several days and is served fresh. The drink is generally sweet and can be flavored with various spices such as cinnamon, ginger, pink berries or cloves.
It is important not to forget your bottle of tepache in the fridge because fermentation can be explosive. If you let your tepache ferment too long, there is a risk that the bottle will explode.
