Beet Kvass

 

Kvass is a traditional beverage from many cultures. This beet kvass is a simple, easy-to-make and inexpensive way to take in a cultured beverage.


Ingredients:

  • 2-3 beets, depending on size
  • 1/4 cup whey (optional)
  • 2 teaspoons sea salt (4 teaspoons if omitting whey)
  • Just under 2 quarts of filtered water

Instructions:                                                                                  

  1. Chop beets  into 1/2” pieces and place in half-gallon jar. Add whey, salt, and fill with water until 1” from top of jar. Culture at room temperature for 2-3 days and then transfer to cold storage.
  2. When most of the liquid has been drunk from the kvass you can refill the jar and allow to culture at room temperature again for a second, weaker batch.
