How To Make Your Own Mexican Kombucha (Tepache)

[@marthadeleon1347]

Growing up, my mom made this frequently. No one knew what I was talking about!😢 Awesome how people are more open to trying food. Thanks for the recipe.😊

Noooooo manches!!!! Rick eres de los gringos mas mexicanos que conozco, que chingon se siente ver y escuchar gente de otras culturas mezclarse tanto con a tuya; yo estoy casado con una francesa y cuando probo el tepache de pina (hay que aclarar por que hay de manzana) le encanto

[@bamboosho0t]

✍️ taking notes! I was just talking about making something like this a few weeks ago but hadn't found a recipe. Problem solved! Thanks, Rick! 🍷

Eat the pineapple, don’t toss it in, that will make it more like a juice. Tepache needs only the peel and sugar, if you have access to piloncillo or panela, the better. Don’t crush it, don’t micro it, just make sure the peels remain under the water. I’m a Mexican, I know my tepache. If you want to mix other interesting flavors on it: cínammon as you did, fresh orange peels. And you can wash the peel too if you feel like it, rub it with regular soap, no detergents, no liquid soap.

Exactly this !!! Enjoy tepache with the peel and enjoy the pineapple or make juice with it.

[@johannadelbusto7987]

Thank you Rick. In Nicaragua we also make it, but we call it differently (chicha de piña).

[@gorjinena]

Hubby grew up drinking agua de tepache and I've never quite gotten it right, will definitely try this recipe!!

[@rogertemple7193]

Another awesome episode with a great beverage.🍷🇺🇲🇲🇽🍷

[@kipsierraleon]

I can’t wait to try making this myself and of course I’ll be adding some cascahuin xa to mine also.

[@lspringerjones]

I've made lots of beer and kombucha. I gotta try this!

[@fadsmfawopefaw]

I just tried this (a canned one) just a few months back. Great timing!

[@mlss1229]

Wow, my father made this when I was a child. I clearly remember his technique. 👍

[@1990smitch]

My gosh i want a glass of that right now, i can taste it right now

[@armandocastellanos6871]

I make this all the time. I like Rick’s advice about the kind of pineapple to use. Some aren’t ripe enough so flavor will be weak. I like to pick the ripest ones, wash them with cold water and a little brush just to get some of the loose stuff from the peels. I only use Mexican cinnamon, and star anice for spices. I don’t use the whole pineapple, just the peels and the core. Add cold water, piloncillo, cover with a cheese cloth or kitchen towel and let it ferment for 4-5 days. Any longer and it starts to become vinegar. Pour over ice on a hot day and you will be glad you made it. Rick, did you know you can also use it to cook? My mom also uses a stronger version of tepache or chicha and makes an awesome chicken stew. She calls it “pollo en chicha” and it’s an interesting dish, full of flavor. Thanks for highlighting one of the oldest drinks in Latin America.

Gracias Rick ❤

[@lauraecarrera7322]

My brother used to make it at home, it was just delicious!

[@ThicccSancho]

CUAUTLA, MORELOS Tepache with ice in the market! Top quality.

[@georgemitchell-8809]

Was in the Navy in San Diego. Would see amber bottles of liquid of pineapple fermentation hanging. In some cases, they were making vinegar which would be used to lightly pickle the jalapeños, radish, carrots, and onion on the table where you were eating all over up and down Baja, Mexico.

[@lspringerjones]

Right. Sugar ferments to alcohol and alcohol ferments into vinegar. (Malt vinegar, white wine vinegar, etc.)

[@L.Spencer]

rolled tacos!

[@SoleildePerez]

Por favor, como se hace el agua de tamarindo? Me gusta muchisimo, pero nunca he conseguido prepararla de la buena manera. Gracias!

[@RBtestkitchen]

Acabamos de lanzar otro video sobre aguas frescas de tamarindo! kzbin.info/www/bejne/aWHXgpmKlLF0lZYsi=-efBNHueKKwPiIuo - Chef Allison, director de cocina de prueba para Chef Rick Bayless

[@PLF...]

Pineapple agua fresca from the meat, tepache from the rinds is the way to go

[@Bojoschannel]

Couple of extra tips for tepache: you don't need to dissolve the piloncillo, you can just throw it whole in with the pineapple and the bacteria will do it for you. Also, aside from the mandatory cinnamon, cloves, allspice and star anise are welcome additions to this beverage, play around with those spices for a more personalized flavor

[@lspringerjones]

Makes sense. Time is on your side since it's going to take days anyway.

[@dianadambrosio1]

This looks sooo great . Gotta set up to make this asap Tequila goin in at the end for sure Love kombucha cocktails 😊

[@amystubby]

You must've heard how sad my wallet is spending $4 a can on this nectar of the gods. Thank you.

[@stevenej9894]

If you are having trouble getting the fermentation started, you could add some organic fruit such as grapes or apple. These typically still have their natral yeasts and bacteria.

[@josele6943]

Ahora se me antoja un Pulque 😋

[@garbagekid09]

I place my Piloncillo in a ziploc bag and break it up with a roller

[@carloszenteno]

Or a hammer, it is faster.

[@maestrogringo]

adding some cloves in addition to cinnamon will also add a lot of flavor!!

[@PLF...]

not a good flavor though :-D

[@L.Spencer]

I remember seeing tepache sold around the city I lived in. I don't think I ever tried it, though. I liked crema de coco, esp on a hot day.

[@JamesBingham-p6k]

How about using an air lock like the home brewers use?

[@Bojoschannel]

It doesn't produce that much gas, a towel on top will do just fine, hell, i've done it with just loosely placed plastic film

[@lspringerjones]

@@Bojoschannel Yep, you could use an airlock, but it's really not needed. My kombucha has a piece of doubled up cheese cloth stretched over the lid.

[@nplindgren]

Chef, I clicked on the link for the recipe and it doesn't mention cinnamon.

[@rylann2868]

Pineapples are filthy, always wash them if using the skin. Think of how far they travel and where they get stored along the way. Ur putting that in ur mouth lol

[@jameskreutzer7427]

Rick, can you please level out your painting? I love your videos and recipes but it drives me nuts to see such a nice house with stuff uneven

[@lspringerjones]

ADD much?
