Dear friends, I hope very much that you are fine. I would love to suggest you a Russian summer drink, which is a bit specific for many foreigners ;-) But in my opnion kvas has the best refreshing taste for summer heat. If you have a lot of stale bread left, you have to test this recipe. KvasIngredients:400 g black bread 3 l water several raisins 1/2 tsp yeast 3-4 tbsp sugar 1/2 c sour berry juice crushed mint If some of the units look unfamiliar to you, click here for conversion tools Method: Slice the larger pieces of bread thinly and let the bread roast in the oven until it`s completely dry and gives a strong smell of rye. Put in a large utensil, pour over the boiling water. Dont`t mix. Let stand for at least 3 hours, or overnight (in a cool place). Strain off the bread through a cloth, try not to disturb the bread too much, so it would not give off the gluten into the liquid. Heat the liquid to a lukewarm, add the yeast, mint and berry juice and let stand for 6-8 hours approximately, covered with a towel. Kvas has to be monitored at this point. When a thin layer of bubbly froth appears on the surface, pour it into bottles through a cloth, drop a raisin into each bottle and cork the bottles well. Put into a cool place (2 C is best) for at least 2 days. Bon Appetit! |
