How to make bread kvass at home - recipe
Ingredients:
- rye bread - 400 g;
- granulated sugar - 150 g or to taste;
- purified water - 4 l;
- raisins - 1 handful;
- yeast alive or dry - 30 g or 2 tbsp. spoons, respectively.
Preparation
The basis of kvass in this case will be rye bread. Particularly rich drink is obtained from Borodino bread, but you can take any other. We cut the loaf in small slices, arrange them in a thin layer on a baking sheet and send it to a heated oven to dry and brown. The more ruddy the bread pieces, the darker will be the color of the ready kvass, but we also take into account the fact that the burnt crusts will add bitterness to the drink.
We put the prepared bread in an enameled vessel, pour in the sugar, fill it with boiling water, let the sugar crystals dissolve, and let it cool down to about forty-five degrees. After that, take a small amount of a warm bread liquid, dissolve the yeast in it and pour it into a common container. We mix the contents, cover with a clean cloth cut and forget about it for two days. After a while, strain the mass through several layers of gauze, the liquid base is seasoned with sugar and poured into a glass jar. We add a handful of raisins to the drink and leave it on the shelf of the refrigerator for another day, after which we remove the ready-made drink from the sediment and enjoy it.
The resulting breadmilk can be used as a starter to prepare another portion of the beverage.
