We make kvas white (rye) at home

To date, it will be difficult enough to find at least one person in the world who would not have tried white rye kvass in his life and does not know what it is. It is considered one of the most common soft drinks throughout the Russian Federation and beyond.

However, the quality of kvass, sold before, and what is sold now, is very different. If you ask our moms and grandmothers, they remember the times when kvass was still sold in huge barrels. Then there was no plastic utensils in which you could pour a drink, so most often it was typed in jars, cans or mugs. It was then that any kvass - white or dark was delicious - not so important ... If we talk about modern life, now kvass can be found only in the store, and even in a bottle, and its quality completely does not correspond to the original drink. In addition, prices for kvass are constantly growing, it is unclear for what reasons, because the drink is considered one of the easiest (and cheap, and all because of a small number of ingredients and quick cooking). However, kvas white, not to mention the dark, gradually begins to enter into the category of "noble" drinks. They can afford to buy only the elite. When faced with a similar problem, many housewives begin to look for a recipe for white kvass to be able to make it at home and using exactly those ingredients that are fresh and good. Today we'll talk about how the drink is, and how to make kvass (white) at home.

First of all, let's talk about the variety of kvass varieties, which are really great, as well as cooking recipes. There are berry, bread, okroshechny and Bavarian kvass, white and dark, with a lot of sugar and with its complete absence. It all depends on what you are doing kvass for. We suggest you make a plain white kvass, which can be found in any store. But, unlike the store, homemade kvass will be tastier and more useful, as it will contain really useful minerals and vitamins. In addition to choosing a certain type of kvass, you need to decide on how you want to cook it: using a ready ferment or completely independently. It is recommended to consult with the older generation, because it was our grandmothers and great-grandmothers who cooked really delicious kvass.

Let's prepare a bread drink, relying on one of the traditional recipes. To do this, we take the following ingredients: half a loaf of bread, 125 grams of sugar, 30 grams of dry yeast, a handful of raisins and three liters of hot water.

So, we start to prepare white kvass. First fry the biscuits, cutting bread in small cubes. Fold them in a vessel and pour boiling water with the addition of sugar. In a separate bowl we dissolve the yeast, cool it and also pour it into biscuits, after which we thoroughly mix. Cover the container with a lid and put it in a warm and dark place for about two days. Kvass should be stirred, and the resulting thick not to be thrown away - it will come in handy as a starter for the next portion of a delicious drink. When kvass has been brewed, add a little raisins and sugar to taste. Your homemade kvass is ready!
