At Moody Teas, we love experimenting with new and unique flavor combinations. Our latest creation, the Tepache Medley Mocktail, is a perfect example of this. This drink features our delicious Chamomile Medley, which is a blend of chamomile, pineapple, and a variety of soothing herbs. We’ve combined it with some other delicious ingredients, like agave, sparkling water, and a fermented pineapple drink called tepache. These flavors combine to create a refreshing and flavorful mocktail that’s perfect for any occasion.
Tepache is a fermented beverage from Mexico, made from the peel and the rind of pineapples. Recipes call for Piloncillo or brown sugar to sweeten the pineapple scraps. Powdered cinnamon, chili or other fruits may also be used for added flavor. It ferments at room temperature in just a few days, so it’s easy to make at home. You can also purchase canned or bottled tepache at many stores. Enjoy tepache on its own served cold, or use it as a base for cocktails.
We love tepache, and realized it would make a great mocktail with our favorite pineapple tisane – Chamomile Medley! This drink combines all the relaxing powers of chamomile, lavender, and rosehips, and the bright, sweet flavor of pineapple from the tisane and the tepache. This mocktail is also good for you! On top of all the benefits from Chamomile Medley, fermented drinks like tepache also improve gut health and contain tons of nutrients like vitamin C! To make the Tepache Medley, shake Chamomile Medley and agave, add tepache, and top with sparkling water. The finished mocktail is a light, refreshing nighttime drink that won’t interfere with your beauty sleep.
