Tepache Bubbling Away (assets.pxlmo.com)

This was delicious when it finished. Just pineapple rinds, sugar and wild yeast, mostly. Sorry there's not really much to see here, I just enjoy watching the bubbles go by, and figured others might too.

Also, fingers crossed this video works right! File hosted on a Pixelfed instance, direct-linked to from a PieFed instance, and posted to a Lemmy instance... That's pretty convoluted lol.

Mmmm, love me some tepache. I usually add a cinnamon stick, a few cloves and a habanero when I make mine at home.

Those sound like a great addition! I think I might like to throw in a bunch of dried spicebush berries next time, seems like a similar complement to cinnamon and clove.

Fermentation bubbles are hypnotic.

I have never made tepache before and I have been taking advantage of the warm temperatures this summer to run multiple new fermentation projects. So I will give tepache a try! Any tips?

Add spices that go well with the pineapple flavor. I like to add cinnamon, cloves, ginger and habanero.

Let it go for 2-3 days, if you like it fizzy let it sit in a pressure safe bottle another day before storing in the refrigerator.

I like to serve mine over ice with some tequila.
