I want to share a recipe for a fragrant drink with honey and raisins. This kind of kvass was made by my grandmother. In the summer in the village, the drink perfectly quenched thirst and it seemed that no lemonade or juice could replace it. A harsh drink can be used to make a flavored okroshka.

Ingredients

Rye bread 300 gr. Dry yeast 12 gr. Honey 3 tbsp Granulated sugar 150 g Raisin 20 gr. Water 5 l.

Cooking process

Cut the rye bread into slices. If you want to constantly prepare such a drink, dry croutons in large quantities in advance. It is not necessary to cover the baking sheet with baking paper; distribute the bread slices evenly.

Place a baking sheet with bread in an oven preheated to 180 degrees and cook the croutons until golden brown, periodically turning them over so that they brown evenly. This can take up to 30 minutes. The color of the finished drink depends on the color of the croutons. Remove the finished croutons from the oven and cool completely.

Measure out the required amount of honey.

Add a small amount of warm water and mix thoroughly until completely dissolved.

Add the required amount of compressed yeast to the resulting liquid.

Mix thoroughly until completely dissolved.

Put the cooled croutons in a deep container. I am using a saucepan.

Add the amount of granulated sugar indicated in the recipe.

Sort out a handful of raisins and rinse under running water, dry them on a paper towel and put them on the croutons. Raisins are good for the fermentation process.

Then pour in the dissolved yeast mass.

Fill with warm drinking water.

Cover with a clean tea towel and leave to infuse for at least 3 days at room temperature.

Strain the finished homemade kvass through a fine sieve covered with gauze. Transfer the starter culture to a glass jar, close it and place in the refrigerator for next use.
