Preparation:
For Four O’Clock® Golden Tumeric Herbal Tea Tepache:

3. In a large container, combine the sweet tea mixture and 1 cup of pineapple skins. Cover with a clean dishcloth and use an elastic band to secure the cloth to the top of the container. Let sit on the counter for 3 days.
4. Each day remove the cloth and use a spoon to stir the mixture before recovering. Seeing bubbles forming at the top is normal.
5. After 3 days, strain out the pineapple skins. Keep refrigerated until ready to use.
