A delicious pineapple tepache recipe.

Easy

Ingredients

  • Pineapple skins (rinsed well)

  • 2 cinnamon sticks

  • 5 cardamom pods

  • 2 star anise

  • ½ tsp turmeric powder

  • 1 tbs ground ginger

  • 50g fresh ginger, sliced

  • 4 tbs dark brown sugar

  • Water (enough to fully cover)

Method

  • Add the pineapple skins, spices, ginger, sugar, and turmeric to a large jar.

  • Cover with boiled water that’s been cooled to room temp, making sure everything is submerged.

  • Seal loosely (or cover with cling wrap + small holes) so it can breathe.

  • Leave to ferment in a cool, dry place for 5 days, giving it a gentle shake each day.

  • Strain, chill, and serve over ice – top with soda or add tequila if you want to take it there!
