Mexican fermented drink with pineapple rind and core, cinnamon, and piloncillo. I've made it once before and it tasted like apple pie. I'm hoping this time it is more tangy and sour.

'piloncillo'. I'm not googling, as your post makes it sound normal.

What is it?

Sounds like it would mix well with vodka

Yep. I love making tepache. I make a few batches every summer.

I'll add a few tips.

- cut the pineapple off the rind and mash the pineapple for more pineapple flavor.

- add ginger

- add cloves

- add a pepper (I like serrano)

Also know that you can make a second batch from the fruit as well after first ferment.

What temp is your house normally?
I'm afraid that we keep our house too cold at 68deg for a good ferment.

I thought about putting it in my garage for a few days, but thought that would be TOO hot.

This older Ecuadorian who worked as a dish washer would make it occasionally. He called it Chicha though. He always did two fermentations then mixed it together. It was great for digestion.
