I tried the pineapple Tepache and it was really good! My DH loved it and asked for another glass. Alas, I had only made enough for 2 glasses of it, so he was out of luck.

I opened another lemon-ginger bug soda and it was fizzier and very good too. I have a few bottles left of that. I need to get more ginger for my next batch. I'm going to keep the ginger bug going throughout the summer and flavor the sodas with the various berries and fruits that we have in our gardens and orchard as they become ripe.

These drinks are very easy to make and taste like those fancy, expensive, gourmet sodas, or probiotic drinks that you find in the store, but these only cost pennies/bottle to make. The bottles, themselves, are probably the most costly, but they are reusable, so they are cost effective in the long run. You can use mason jars, but you run the risk of them exploding, since they are not as thick and sturdy as the bottles are. You can also use regular beer bottles if you have caps and a capper tool.
