During the hot summer, soft drinks are very popular. And if these are drinks that have significant benefits for the body, then their importance is even more relevant. Good old home-made kvass contains natural flora, the benefits of which are invaluable for the body. Cooking such kvass is as easy as shelling pears, the main thing is to have patience and wait for it to be ready. You need to use oats unpeeled, with a shell, and you can buy it in most stores in the cereal section.
Ingredients
Cooking process
Wash a three-liter jar, pour the indicated amount of warm water into it. It is better to use boiled water. Add granulated sugar to the water and stir so that it completely dissolves. We immerse raisins and oats in water. Cover the neck of the jar with a cotton cloth and tie it with a thread or tighten with an elastic band.
We leave the jar with the future kvass at room temperature for three to six days to activate the fermentation process. If it is hot in the room, the process will start faster, and the kvass will be ready on the third or fourth day. When the characteristic smell of fermentation appears, the liquid darkens, and air bubbles appear in it, we taste the kvass. If the taste suits, then filter the finished kvass through a sieve into a convenient container for storage and place it in the refrigerator. If the sharpness and taste are still not enough, then we leave the kvass for some more time for fermentation, periodically removing the sample. Such kvass can be consumed solo, without any additives - its taste is self-sufficient, and it perfectly quenches thirst. You can also add honey, crushed mint leaves, a slice of lemon, grated ginger or cranberries to the drink - there are many serving options for every taste.
Bon Appetit!
