So instead of the normal three days I left my tepache for a week. Instead of tasting sweet and mildly fermented this stuff actually smelled and tasted like alcohol, and so much of the sugar had been converted that we had to add more to make it tasty. I thought about throwing it out, for fear of it making someone go blind or something else

ok, now you have to post a recipe

Wash and chop up a whole pineapple, rind and all (not the top), and put it in a big jug. Add water to cover it an then some, as well as two sticks of cinnamon and a couple stars of star anise. I add two cones of Mexican sugar, but you can use about a cup of brown sugar and a cup of white sugar. Close it up and let it sit for a few days (three or four, or you know, seven or eight). Strain it through cheese cloth, and add more water and sugar to taste. You can let it sit for another day or two at this point if you want to. That's about it.
