Okroshka on White Kvass with Radish and Mustard
My childhood-favorite okroshka, dressed up with brand-new flavors! It's a little spicy with a gentle bite of mustard, and the cold kvass brings a pleasant tang — together they make the unforgettable taste of this Russian summer cold soup that no one ever turns down. I love it, and I'd love for you to give it a try. I'd never had kvass like this before, but as luck would have it, an older woman once treated me to okroshka made with rye-flour kvass, black radish, and mustard. At first I couldn't place what the base was, but once I learned the recipe I was so surprised — and so won over — that I wrote it down. Now it's the only way I make it. Thank you to that kind grandmother!
