How to put kvass from dry kvass? This issue is especially relevant only in the hot summer season. After all, it is at this time of year that you want to quench your thirst and replenish the water balance with something sour and at the same time sweet. It is worth noting that a home-made kvass drink is much tastier and healthier than a similar product sold in yellow barrels on the street.
How to put kvass from dry kvass at home
Essential Ingredients:
- granulated sugar - 8-9 large spoons;
- purified drinking water - 3 l;
- dry active yeast (granular) - 5-7 peas;
- dry bought kvass - 3 full large spoons.
Cooking process
Before you put kvass from dry kvass, you should definitely purchase the main ingredient in the form of crackers, crushed to crumbs. Typically, such a product is sold in bakeries (in packages or by weight). It is worth noting that dry kvass from different manufacturers can vary significantly in color (from light to dark shade). This fact does not play a special role in the final product, but in some cases a mixture that is too dark can produce a stronger drink.
In order to understand how to properly install kvass at home, it should be remembered that such a product turns out to be much tastier if it is done with a sufficient amount of granulated sugar. Thus, a sweet bulk product in the amount of 8-9 large spoons should be put in a glass three-liter jar, and then add 3 full spoons of dry kvass and 5-7 peas of active granulated yeast to it. After that, it is necessary to pour purified drinking water (up to the shoulders of the can) to the main ingredients and stir it together with the rest of the products using a large kitchen appliance (spoon or fork).
Before you put dry kvass with water in a warm place, you should make sure that the granulated sugar has completely melted. Only after that the drink can be covered (loosely) with a glass lid and left aside for 24-48 hours. An ideal option for such kvass is the windowsill, where the hot sun shines all day. In such a place, an acidic drink is made very quickly (within 1 day) and it turns out delicious.
In the process of preparing kvass, you can personally observe how an active reaction proceeds in a three-liter jar. And the stronger it is, the more acidic and vigorous a drinkable product will be.
After 24 hours of exposure to the sun, the drink will be fully prepared. But it is still recommended to try it. If the taste of kvass suits you, then it should immediately be bottled in plastic bottles and placed in a refrigerator.
Now you know how to put kvass from dry kvass at home. It should be remembered that one can still make the same drink from the remaining leaven at the bottom, but only without adding dry granulated yeast to it. As the sediment increases at the bottom, it should be partially drained, leaving only 5-6 large spoons.
