Kvass...Another Fermented Drink
I know...I'm probably boring the patooties out of readers that aren't into fermenting things, but I came across another fermented drink that looks interesting: Kvass. It's a fizzy drink that uses fermented grains, or starches as it's fermenting source...kind of like beer, but non-alcoholic. Like Ginger Bug, Kombucha and Water Kefir, you can add fruits and other flavorings to change the flavor profile. It tastes more like soda pop than beer. Here's a recipe for Sweet Potato Kvass: https://www.growforagecookferment.co...-potato-kvass/

Apple kvass is good too. I want to make the old fashioned kind but all the russian delis around here are closed so I can't get the bread.
I guess I could order from the online deli. I wish the stuff would take off here. My daughter and I used to go to the russian deli and buy kvass and some little chocolate covered wafers with a squirrel on the box. Tasty stuff.

Oh...I'll have to try apple kvass. Is it a lot like cider?
I started some carrot kvass the other day and it's bubbling away. I don't know when it's ready. I've never tasted it before. I'm thinking of adding some ginger to it.
I've read that the Russian Kvass is started with black bread.
