Hi guys! Welcome to my channel!
Hello everyone! and Lovden!
Today I'll show you how to make Kvass.
It is a very popular drink and enjoyed everywhere in Russia,
in Ukraine and all the ex-Soviet Union countries.
In Latvia they used to sell it on the street with pirozhok or cheburek.
So I used to drink it a lot and I thought I'll share
this recipe with you if you want to make it at home.
We're going to need a few raisins,
black rye bread or any dark black bread.
bread, sugar, yeast, a lot of water
and a plastic bottle where we're going to put our
kvass into. Add your water into a deep pan.
We're going to bring our water to the boiling
point. While your water is boiling we're going
to toast our black bread. You can do it in
a toaster or on a pan until it's nice
and a little bit burnt. When it starts to boil
we're going to turn off the heat completely,
add the raisins, cover it with a lid and leave
for eight hours or overnight.
It's been eight hours let's have a look. Now the
mixture is nice and brown so we're gonna get rid of the bread,
sugar and yeast and
place everything in there.
Cover the mixture and leave again for six hours.
Six hours and you can see the raisins are floating.
We're gonna get rid of the raisins and strain our kvass.
I've got my plastic bottle and I'm
just gonna fill it up with kvass.
Now our kvass goes
into the fridge for about eight hours
or best if it stays overnight and then it's
gonna brew and get more flavors
in and then we're gonna finally try it okay so
I have just taken this out of the fridge it's
been in there overnight and you can
see the color is nice and dark
and this is the color you want it to be so we're
just gonna pour it and try it.
Na zdrowie!
that's what we say when we're
about to drink let's give this a try Wow
the flavors are very nice and strong
sweetness comes from the raisins
and the sugar and you do get that bready
taste but it's so refreshing,
I like it cold and on a hot summer day it's a perfect drink
to enjoy. I hope you liked my video,

I'll see you next week. Bye!
