Birch sap kvass with dried apples

There is a very simple recipe for making birch kvass with dried apples: pour the juice into a barrel, add dry apples, seal the barrel, place it on a glacier and after 3 months the kvass will be ready. But this recipe can be used by few at present. We prepare kvass in plastic bottles and replace traditional yeast and juice with apple drying with raisins. You can prepare such kvass at any time from canned juice, only homemade.

Birch sap, being a delicate product, quickly loses its useful properties in a couple of days, and not everyone likes it for its insipid taste, so it is either immediately canned, or kvass is prepared, and then sent for long-term storage. One of the options for delicious birch kvass will be to prepare it based on dried fruits: dried apples, raisins, dried apricots and even dates or figs. The ingredients in the recipe are given for 50 liters of juice, and the fermentation time, depending on the conditions, should be at least five days.

Birch kvass for long-term storage is most often poured into large plastic bottles, but there are also opponents of this storage method. In this recipe, you are invited to prepare kvass in glass jars, tightly corking them with plastic lids. Such kvass retains its properties for several months. We prepare birch kvass without yeast, so it can be given to children.

Kvass from birch sap will not be a monotonous drink if you enrich its taste with citrus fruits or coffee, and put raisins, bread or barley in the juice for fermentation. When properly prepared, birch kvass retains its taste well for up to six months. Currently, such kvass is prepared in plastic bottles.

Kvass with birch sap can be prepared without yeast. Natural fermentation is still initiated, and it gives a softer, more natural taste. Add raisins for sweetness, and some dried apples for refreshing notes.

Kvass from birch sap can be prepared in different ways. All of them are based on ensuring the process of light fermentation - it is thanks to this that the kvass acquires its characteristic sharpness and richness. According to this recipe, we will prepare kvass with the addition of raisins, in bottles - it is very convenient.

If you add dried apples to birch sap, you can get a refreshing fruit kvass. Additionally, add sugar and raisins to ensure fermentation. If you have a large amount of birch sap, it is convenient to prepare kvass in a large barrel.
