💡 Why This Works (The Science Behind It) 🧠🥑
Tepache is a traditional Mexican fermented drink made from pineapple rinds, brown sugar (piloncillo), and water. It naturally ferments thanks to the wild yeasts and beneficial bacteria on the pineapple skin. This creates a bubbly, slightly tangy, probiotic-rich drink that supports gut health, boosts digestion, and delivers tropical flavor—without the need for fancy equipment or expensive ingredients.
