This is an acquired taste for those who are trying for the first time. For those of us tapatios who grew up with this delicious and refreshing "exotic" concoction...it's the gift of the Mechicas to us. Thanks for your simple step-by-step instructions. You have made it quick and easy to make at home.

[@thebestthingsinlife8387]

I agree my dad used to buy it for my sisters and I as kids. I have been wanting some.

[@mannycovarrubias5566]

It's amazingly good!

[@mannycovarrubias5566]

I love it!

[@adrianvizcaya8078]

I grew up in Baja California and I remember drinking this as a kid in Mexicali. Definitely a unique taste of deliciousness.

[@alexanderlabrador7006]

Thanks bro just made a batch for the fam and it’s coming out perfect 👍🏾

[@amplituhedron5582]

Been binging your channel for days now. Everything you do is top notch.

[@stul5844]

Just had my first cup of tejuino from some dude on the side of the road..... LIFE CHANGING. going back tomorrow

[@2guysandacooler]

It's addictive!!

[@jsr1296]

Yup, im addicted

[@temptz3017]

It’s a weird taste at first and after a couple sips it’s so good lol weird to explain definitely addicting.

[@manuelgonzales6483]

Bought my first Tejuino at the local sobre ruedas by my house. After 20 years of living in Mexico I cannot believe that I have missed out on this delicious healthy delight 😋❤😋

[@Camille_Boomer77000]

This recipe is nothing like what I have seen before. The preparation with the masa is just wow 👌 can't wait to try it this summer.

[@2guysandacooler]

Hope you enjoy

[@jwalske]

Loved the pronunciation of tajin there 😂

[@toshiyukisuzuki7610]

I love exotic sour summer drinks that transport me to resorts I can temporarily not visit. This is a good addition.... Thanks 👍

[@spiritualprepper7]

​2 Guys & A Cooler, I will be making this marvelous drink very, very soon. Thanks for this educational video and grant instructions!

[@mariasoniamoreno3433]

This is what the Tarahumaras drink to run their 400 mile races. Plus it's delicious!!! You don't even have to run.

[@elenamiller3610]

Fake tejuino, the real tejuino is made with fresh masa. Tejuino is essentially an atole made from piloncillo, masa, water, and a little bit of lime juice that is left in a clay pot to ferment for up to three days. As most things in Mexico, it’ll be prepared and served differently depending on where you have it. I believe in Jalisco it is customary to serve it with lime sorbet, but in Colima, Tejuino is served over shaved ice and lots of lime juice.

[@Bbdr1216]

To make this even more authentic use pilloncillo/panela as your sugar either way this looks great.

[@jsr1296]

Yup

[@psidvicious]

That concoction is begging for a few shots of Tequila or mezcal (for the 32oz version shown). 🍹

[@2guysandacooler]

Tequila makes a great addition to this awesome drink!

[@bmartin2949]

another option for freezing it, if you don't have an ice cream maker, if you do have a stand mixer, buy some dry ice, crush it up, and use the paddle to churn it

[@susangarland6869]

Making the masa dough seems like an extra step. You really could just make a slurry with the masa flour and water to pour into the sugar water since the purpose of the masa is for thickening.

[@MikeKolcun]

Interesting, would this work?

[@2guysandacooler]

Yes but the ratios are different..

[@lawrence-yx1ew]

I did 2 1/2 cups water and 1 1/4 cup masa. Then mix, then add to you sugar water

[@wacko1358]

You have such nice looking ice. Ice I get here is full of air and melts quickly.

[@bobbicatton]

Looks delicious👍

[@zoltankaparthy9095]

I first had this in Ajijic in around 2001. It is an amazingly delicious drink. But it is fermented which means it has alcohol in it so I no longer drink it.

[@And-the-new]

Lol!

[@redoorn]

Is this the most refreshing drink EVER? I don't know. i'll have to make it to find out. it sure sounds tasty....

[@jimduffy9773]

I'll have to try that.

[@cryptomarkla69]

Que rico Tejuino!

[@frankq1157]

My dad has been asking for me to buy one for him, I was thinking I could make it myself......yea no 🤣🤣

[@mariarahim651]

Why not.

[@brian48williams]

Crazy what all you come up with..lol,,I love that it's fermented too, looks excellent.

[@sharinmythoughts2510]

This looks absolutely delicious, I can’t wait to try it!! Where do you get those cups from?

[@2guysandacooler]

Thank you. It's super tasty!! Those cups came from a local store..

[@BlockTechGold]

Do you have the Acholic recipe also? I am thinking rum or tequila would both work very well with this... might even try some coconut gin.

[@mariarahim651]

Or you can ferment it longer as alcohol is a byproduct of fermentation.

[@BlockTechGold]

I Have got to make a version of this with the lime like fruit they have here in the Philippines... and I also want to make a version with rice flour and see how it works... I am excited to try this and introduce this to the locals here. Growing up in Texas I am shocked I have never had this... I have been making Horchata here and am about to also make Tamarindo also.

[@McGieHomesteadAdventures]

Oh my! I’d be a heavy drinker!!!

[@gisselgarci]

I just need to ask, since this recipe makes so much, is it possible to refrigerate the remaining base for a while and for how long?

[@dark666105]

5:20 soooooo a sugar gravy...

[@Floriielora]

Just stumbled on your page through your Inkbird setup video, this looks incredible! Love your videos.

[@2guysandacooler]

Thanks so much!

[@matthewg4956]

That looks very refreshing in those festive glasses. A lot of sugar!!!

[@2guysandacooler]

LOL!!

[@charlesprimbs5270]

I made a full recipe and put it into two sterilized jars, with a cloth as a covering, and one developed a black mold, and the other a green. So would you have any advice to someone who has problems with mold and their tejuino ferment. I'm not aware of any forums where people discuss their tejuino fermentations, but I figured you might have an idea.

[@angreepuffinn_3647]

You must’ve had other bacteria reach your batch, if anything from what I’ve asked to the people that make it to sell, they said don’t let it ferment for more than 2 days.

[@alexcontreras6103]

Bro gonna make this today!

[@dfbess]

Switchel, this drink, & a few others are the old school gatorade..lol

[@johnathancorgan3994]

Hmm, at what point would I pitch some wine yeast into that to do a little sugar to alcohol conversion to add some kick? 🤔

[@2guysandacooler]

lol.

[@24framedavinci39]

Ha. I just had this. We get road-side vendors here in San Jacinto, CA. My spouse, who is from Guadalajara, Jalisco, Mexico, saw one selling tejuino and got all excited. I'm el gringo, btw, so I have never heard of it. I enjoyed it. Definitely not as much as my spouse, but it was ok. Edit: Just got to the end. BTW, it's pronounced Tajin (Tah-heen).

[@2guysandacooler]

LOL Tajen.... That's the gringo in me 😁

[@24framedavinci39]

Think making tempeh would be an awesome vid to try out. I've watched others but wonder what kind of take you would have on it.

[@adamnovelli853]

Eric, have you ever thought about doing a video on Nixtimalization for the home cook? I've tried it a couple times with a food processor but it never really worked out.

[@brockruss6678]

Will I get sick from fermented masa 😅

[@2guysandacooler]

Only if you eat too much😁.

[@brockruss6678]

@@2guysandacooler what about in the tejuino😶🙃

[@2guysandacooler]

no. This drink is fermented like a kombucha. It contains probiotics that are good for the body. If you let it ferment too long (1 week+) then it will begin to turn to alcohol.

If you drink basically any drink from a store, you have no idea how much sugar you're getting (lots and lots).

[@aymanabantas2309]

how can I make it alcoholic??

[@2guysandacooler]

Let it ferment longer. 1 week - 10 days

[@heyybubbles4977]

Can you drink this while pregnant? I loveee tejuino and always want it lol..

[@xanthochromique]

I wonder how they made ice for this drink in the pre-historic era

[@2guysandacooler]

Prehistoric tejuino was drank ceremonially, as it was fermented to the point of being alcoholic. No ice needed😉

[@3FAZNI]

How did they do it 5000 years ago, without refrigeration?

[@2guysandacooler]

They drank it right away!! It was a very lively ceremony😁

[@3FAZNI]

@@2guysandacooler Eric, I meant how they made the drink if it needed to be frozen during the process of making it. I didn’t mean how they kept it after they made it.

Your mix doesnt really look like it fermented at all, there was no bloating, no bubbles of gas and it looked exactly the same

[@2guysandacooler]

Have you ever made Tejuino? This is what it looks like after fermentation...

[@theblobfish9614]

@@2guysandacooler thats my point, maybe fermentation is the wrong word. I mean i havent made it myself and obviously I havent tried yours but normally there should be gas buildup thats why i am scepticsl

[@theblobfish9614]

@@2guysandacooler but there is no way around me making this, just one question: could you replace the piloncillo with a dark brown sugar like jaggery?

[@2guysandacooler]

LOL. You can't apply the same principals of making sauerkraut to tejuino. This substance is unique because of how thick it is and because the fermentation happens very quickly (otherwise it would turn into alcohol) using natural flora the process will look different. You can use brown sugar but it will taste different.

[@theblobfish9614]

@@2guysandacooler well what kind of fermentation is it then?

[@Thrunz]

Not the original way to make it but well is not TEJUINO but is not bad

How would you make it? This was shown to me by my friends in Guadalajara who sell it on the street.
