Tepache

Okay kiddo, have you ever had a drink that tastes like pineapple and is a little bit fizzy? That's called tepache!

Tepache is a drink that comes from Mexico and it's made from pineapples, cinnamon, and brown sugar. How do they make it? Well, first they chop up the pineapple and mix it with some water and the brown sugar. Then, they add a little bit of cinnamon and let it sit in a warm place for a few days.

What happens next is really cool! During those few days, something called fermentation happens. This means tiny living things called yeast and bacteria start eating the sugar in the pineapple and making something called carbon dioxide. That's what makes the drink fizzy!

After a few days, the tepache is ready to drink! But be careful, because it can be a little bit sour and strong. Some people like to put ice or even some beer in their tepache to make it taste even better.

So there you have it, tepache is a yummy drink made from pineapples and sugar that gets fizzy because of tiny living things called yeast and bacteria. And remember, always drink it responsibly and with the help of an adult!
