Making kvass “like from a yellow barrel”
It is necessary to prepare a container for mixing the ingredients. It must be dry.It is important! You will also need a tablespoon and a teaspoon to measure the ingredients.
In this case, a double-sided measuring spoon is used (a tablespoon on one side, a teaspoon on the other).
Measure sugar into a dry container.
Then chicory.
The next ingredient will be citric acid.
Dry yeast must be fresh, so when purchasing, you need to check the production date.
The order of adding ingredients can be arbitrary, because in the end all the dry ingredients in the container need to be mixed.
Now you need to measure out 3 liters of warm water (meaning water at a temperature of about 40 degrees).
Pour the entire mixture of dry ingredients into a container with warm water.
The yeast will react immediately, this will be visible by the sizzling bubbles. Immediately close the container tightly with a lid and shake everything to mix the ingredients.
Then put the kvass “warmly”. This could be a place near a battery or a windowsill in direct sunlight.
When the warm water in the container has cooled to room temperature, the kvass can be placed in the refrigerator overnight.
There he will continue to “wander.” By morning the invigorating drink will be ready. You can taste it.
Bon appetit!
