During the collection of birch sap, it is possible to prepare very healthy birch kvass with oats. This drink requires fresh birch sap and unrefined oat grains. For sweetness and activation of fermentation, we use raisins and sugar. By the way, instead of birch sap, you can use just water: beneficial bacteria will still do their job, and kvass will turn out with a characteristic taste and aroma. But on the basis of birch sap, the drink turns out to be richer, softer in taste and healthier in composition.
Ingredients
Cooking process
You can buy unrefined oat grains in any supermarket in the cereals section or in the eco-products section. Before preparing kvass, the grains must be thoroughly washed and sorted out in order to get rid of dust and possible accidental impurities. We throw away the defective grains. Place the washed grains in a colander and let the water drain.
By the end of fermentation, air bubbles will appear in the drink. The kvass will become not so transparent - it will become slightly cloudy. We taste the drink, and if the degree of sharpness suits us, then we filter the kvass into a separate suitable bottle. If the sharpness is not enough, then we leave the kvass to ferment further and later we remove the sample. We store the finished strained kvass in the refrigerator.
Bon Appetit!
