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.
Thanks!!
Bourbon is so good in tepache too. Any whiskey has such an affinity for pineapple.
I do mine in a weak, sweet cinnamon/black pepper lemonade basically, my recipe is in the non-alcoholic thread on lemmy-world c/cocktails and has been foolproof so far, years and years.
