Tepache Fermented Pineapple Drink Not only is Tepache Fermented Pineapple Drink a healthy, delicious way to get some extra probiotics into your diet, it’s also great way to utilize the scraps from your pineapple!

In Mexico, tepache is usually sold as a chilled drink by street vendors. In the U.S., it is sold in juice bars in the Mexican American communities of the Southwestern United States.

The fermentation process for making tepache is simple and quick, which makes tepache a drink readily produced at home and with a easy addition, you can transform traditional Tepache into a sparkling beverage!

H0w to make Sparkling Tepache Fermented Pineapple Drink

Simply combine sugar with pineapple scraps (i.e. the outter rind that you remove when cutting up a pineapple)

    Can this be made as a low carb beverage by substituting monk fruit or something similar?

      I would not advise it. The sugar aids in fermentation. The pineapple alone adds significant sugar/carbs to start the process. This cannot be a low carb beverage.

    Thank you for the recipe 🙂

    Do you have to ‘burp’ the swing top bottle at all?

      not necessary but it’s ok to do as a precaution if your ambient temperature is warm.

    I love this and have been drinking it, I like it as much as the fresh pineapple it was cut from, TBH. So a question….can I use other fruit scraps? Like maybe scrap strawberry tops, apple scraps (cores or peels)…cantaloupe or other melon rinds…What are your thoughts on this?

    Approximately how much does this make, can you say? Thanks

      In the recipe, I advise to use a roughly 1/2 gallon container. So your finished yield will be less than a 1/2 gallon when we account for the space that the pineapple scraps take up. My best estimation would be roughly 6 cups.

    Where does the bacteria that ferments these ingredients come from? The surface of the normally discarded pineapple rind? What makes the bacteria on its surface(s) good for us, and how do we know this? And, does that mean bacteria present on or in any fruit is probiotic for us?

      Hey Mae, great questions! I’m assuming you are brand new to fermentation and the difference between good bacteria and bad bacteria/germs, right?? I suggest reading my book On Fermentation to learn the details.
