- 7-8 cups water
- 1 cinnamon stick

- Rinse the pineapple with cool tap water to remove pests or dirt. Cut off the crown and base of the pineapple.

- Place the pineapple peels and cores into a clean wide-mouth jar. Add the cinnamon stick and sliced ginger.
- Dissolve the sugar in water and pour it over the pineapple scraps, leaving at least 1” headspace in the jar. Stir with a wooden spoon to dissolve the sugar.
- Cover the jar and let it ferment for 2 to 5 days at room temperature. Stir daily with a wooden spoon.
- Strain the tepache through a cheesecloth and transfer to a bottle and store it in the fridge.
