Cost $3 - $4
Ingredients
- 2.5 Gallons Water
- 9 Slices Classic black, dark, or rye bread
- 1 Handful Raisins
- 4 cups Sugar
- 1.5 tbsp Active dry yeast
Instructions
- Fill a large (or better extra-large) pot with the water and bring to a boil. If you do not own one that is large enough, split it up into two.
- Toast each slice of bread two times. Make it really dark, as this will affect the color of the final product. And darker Kvass looks more appealing ;)
- Once the water boils, remove the pot from your stove and add the raisins together with the toasted bread.
- Cover it with a lid and let it rest for at least 8 hours.
- Remove the toasted bread.
- Mix sugar and yeast, add them to the pot and stir the whole mix.
- Cover it up again for another 6-8 hours. Stir the mix every once in a while.
- Strain the mixture into bottles with the help of a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth. Close the bottle caps loosely and refrigerate overnight.
- You can seal the bottles tightly the morning after.
