Nixtamalised maize dough is mixed with water and piloncillo into a drink, then left 12 to 24 hours with some old tejuino to sour. Additives such as salt and lemon juice are incorporated, and the drink is sour and low in alcohol.

At a glance
Nixtamalised maize dough is mixed with water and piloncillo into a drink, then left 12 to 24 hours with some old tejuino to sour. Additives such as salt and lemon juice are incorporated, and the drink is sour and low in alcohol. Made in 5 steps over 12 h – 25 h. The longest step, add old tejuino and ferment, takes 12–24 h (Rubio-Castillo Á.E 2021). Pichia yeasts and Lactiplantibacillus plantarum in commercial (street) tejuino and Saccharomyces cerevisiae and Limosilactobacillus fermentum in artisanal tejuino do most of the fermenting.
Street tejuino starts from nixtamal masa sweetened with piloncillo and sours in a day, seeded by old tejuino. Indigenous tesgüino and artisanal tejuino start from germinated maize and ferment for days; mestizo tesgüino is lower in alcohol than the Indigenous drink.
Artisanal tejuino (germinated maize)Maize is germinated in the dark and sun-dried 2–3 days, mixed with water and cooked; the sediment ferments 24 h, then the whole is filtered and fermented about 7 days, to pH 2.91–3.52.
Tesgüino (Tarahumara and others)Germinated maize or maize-stalk juice, sometimes with plant barks; see the tesgüino entry.
Safety
Total coliforms were absent from all eight tejuino samples tested (four artisanal, four commercial), and the samples were sour, at pH 2.91–3.96. The study counted coliforms, aerobic bacteria, yeasts and moulds and reports no test for named pathogens. It isolated Staphylococcus warneri from commercial tejuino, called Staphylococcus undesirable and related it to food handling.
Hazards the sources name: Staphylococcus warneri, isolated from commercial tejuino; the authors call Staphylococcus undesirable and relate it to food handling.
The names tesgüino and tejuino come from the Nahuatl tecuin, "heartbeat". The mestizo drink of northern and western Mexico is lower in alcohol than Indigenous tesgüino and is drunk mainly as a refreshment in hot weather.
