In the summer, I constantly make kvass. A homemade drink will never be compared to a store drink, in which not only natural ingredients, but also harmful chemicals are now widely added. I make kvass exclusively without adding yeast. I use raisins as a catalyst for the fermentation process. Light gives kvass a pleasant fruity aroma, and dark makes the drink "vigorous" and highly carbonated.

Simple recipes from the available ingredients will help you master the preparation of this summer drink. What is pleasant, with minimal effort and time expenditures, an excellent kvass is obtained, which is useful not only for drinking, but also as an ingredient in okroshka. Homemade kvass without unnecessary hassle is possible!
