Beet kvass

Beetroot (beet) kvass is a traditional fermented drink popular in Ukraine and Russia. It is a tangy and earthy drink commonly incorporated into savory dishes such as borsch. In its simplest form, it is made with beetroot, salt, and water, but variations often include spices, bread, or starters.

The combination should be left at room temperature until kvass attains its distinctive sour flavor and becomes fizzy. When it is ready, it can be enjoyed as a nourishing drink or added to broths and stews. Many drink beetroot kvass as a health tonic and believe it aids digestion and has numerous other benefits.
