Kvass | Recipe for kvass | Ievgen Klopotenko - Chef from Ukraine

In Ukraine, we drink Kvass to cool down when it is hot outside. This refreshing drink is very popular in our country. Perhaps you hear about it for the first time, but you'll be amazed by its taste. It's time to share this recipe so you can make Kvass at home. Trust me, it is very easy to cook it. You need only a few ingredients and a little bit of curiosity. I will teach you how to cook it, click on the video. Ingredients: 200 g of brown bread 3 tbsp of sugar 1 g of live yeast 1-1.5 liters of water.   Dice brown bread. Dry it in a pan without oil until it gets a firm crust. Cut 2 g of fresh yeast. For the preparation of kvass, I recommend using only fresh yeast. Crush the yeast with your hands in a small bowl. The more you grind the yeast, the better it will dissolve. Add 100 ml of water and 2 tbsp. sugar to the yeast. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved. Place the bread cubes to a three-liter jar with a screw cap. Pour the water with the yeast and the remaining sugar. Then add water to the top of the jars, mix slightly. Cover tightly and leave to ferment in a warm place for 1-4 days. The longer you can withstand the kvass, the richer and sharper its taste will be. Strain the kvass carefully into a clean bowl. Immediately pour it into jars with lids and place in the fridge. Homemade kvass can be stored in the fridge for up to 10 days.
