Beetroot red kvass at home conditions

Homemade Red Beet Kvass

An unusual but very tasty recipe. Give it a try! We usually think of "kvass" as a drink made from white or rye bread. But it turns out there are plenty of kvass recipes made from all kinds of foods. I decided to experiment a little and make some unusual kvass, and the one that intrigued me most was red kvass from raw beets. I can tell you it came out quite tasty. Here's how to make this drink.

Cooking method

Step 1:

For this recipe you'll need beets, water, rye bread, and sugar.
Step 2:

Cut the bread into medium-sized pieces.
Step 3:

Trim the ends off the washed beets and cut them into medium-sized pieces.
Step 4:

Put the sliced bread and beets into a washed and dried three-liter jar.
Step 5:

Add the sugar to the jar.
Step 6:

Pour in 2 liters of vigorously boiling water and cover with a towel (to keep out dust while letting air in). After about a day, bubbles will start to appear on the surface — the start of fermentation. If fermentation is slow to begin, drop in 3 unwashed raisins to speed it along.
Step 7:

After 3 days the kvass is ready. Chill it in the fridge and enjoy as a drink — or use it as a base for borscht.
