Pronounced “teh-pah-che,” this fabulous fermented probiotic beverage has been made in Mexico for centuries! Thousands of versions of tepache exist regionally but at the core of it all, the recipe is based on fermented pineapples. To be more precise: pineapple, pineapple rinds, cinnamon and sugar with endless variations of spices and regional fruits like mango, oranges or pomelo. Until recently, tepache was mostly found in Mexico in Tepacherias alongside street food vendors. Now you can find it at your local Nugget Markets!
