The Moonshiner’s Tepache

Bring the water to a boil and then dissolve the hard sugar cones in it over low heat, or boil with sugarcane juice to sterilize. Cool and pitch the yeast. You can experiment with drinking tepache at varying levels of fermentation. Take a taste every few days.

Whenever the palate is to your liking, go ahead and put it into the fridge, chill, and start drinking. Alternatively, unfermented fresh-pressed sugarcane juice is a delicious drink on its own, especially when served over ice.
