Forget Kombucha, There's a New Bubbly Probiotic Drink In Town

RECIPE...

Strawberry Kvass, a refreshing fermented beverage, carries with it a sense of time-honored tradition and a punch of bright, berry flavor. Originating from Eastern Europe, Kvass is typically made with rye bread or beets, but this strawberry variant brings in a sweet and tart profile that's perfect for those warmer days. Strawberries, those summer gems, are the star of this recipe. We're talking two pounds of these juicy red delights going into a brew that's nothing short of a fruit lover's dream. And it’s not just a wonderful beverage, it’s an experience. Watching the strawberries releasing their ruby-red juices, seeing the bubbles of fermentation, smelling that sweet aroma—it's all part of the journey.

Now let’s talk about the magic of fermentation. We've got sugar, the fuel for fermentation, dissolved into water, and then poured over the strawberries. It's as simple as that. And what follows next is the most beautiful thing: we stir the mixture thrice a day, getting in there, agitating everything, helping the fermentation along. Over 3 to 5 days, you’ll watch as the natural yeasts get to work, turning that sugar into slightly fizzy, deliciously tart kvass. It's a bit of patience, a dash of magic, and a whole lot of flavor payoff. Remember to pour yourself a glass, kick back, and relish the tangy, fruity goodness of your homemade kvass. Here's to the joy of fermentation and the simplicity of ingredients coming together to create something special.

P.S. Try this out with your favorite fresh fruit, too. I really dig strawberries and pineapple. Get creative. 🤘🏼 Adam

Kvass is generally made from rye bread or rye flour. This is just a general fermented fruit drink.

[Wonderr]

I think that's more of a kompot 😂

[mikemodee]

You would call it Kompott. Kvass is made out of Ryebread. After fermintation you can call it kvass

Bro made prison hooch in his kitchen and told us to bring it to a party 💀

This explains why the pre packaged sliced apples from school have a fizz to them.

“Add some sugar to water — this is called juice”

[zeimur]

This is not kvass, this is braga. Kvass is basically lightly fermented beer, based on grains or rarely roots.
Fermented fruit punch slavs call braga or similarly derived from word ferment

I'm from Spain and researchers talk about butyrate producing bacteria reduce risk of Alzheimer's disease and many other things, also by supplementing with butyrate you can increase butyrate producing bacteria

[kristofusclidofus]

I've never seen kvass like that in my entire eastern European life.

Calling this kvas is like calling fruit punch Dr. Pepper

[suprchrgr]

Someone call Papa Boris, this is not okay.

[amnbvcxz]

Technically kvas is made only with (black) bread crumbs and sugar (but that takes more than 3 days). Nowadays special bacteria are added to speed up the process. My grandad used to make his kvas each summer, very tasty. It has a faint beer-like taste but way sweeter, tangier and no bitterness.

As others said, what you did is braga.

[LeeorAlexandra]

I’ve never heard of kvass but seeing everyone mention kompot made me miss my grandma and aunt, who would always make kompot (for us it was boiling fruit and making it syrupy, that what it was for you?)

[masterplusmargarita]

Calling this kvass gave me, a Ukrainian, a stroke. Kvass is made from rye bread. It's not fruity in the slightest, it's strong and overwhelmingly earthy. This is like a compote which you're too cheap to boil. Calling this kvass is like tossing some cucumbers in rum for a week and saying you just made lemonade.
