Place all ingredients in a large jar and stir well to dissolve the sugar.
Cover the jar with a muslin cloth or breathable fabric.
Leave at room temperature for 5 days until bubbling and aromatic.
Strain and pour the liquid into a bottle. Compost the pineapple.
For a more sparkling tepache, you can leave the bottle at room temperature for a few more days to carbonate further.
Alternatively, place in the fridge and enjoy for the next few weeks.
