Fruit Kvass Ingredients:
- 2 cups fresh fruit (such as berries, apples, or peaches) chopped
- 1/4 cup raw honey or organic cane sugar
- 1 tablespoon fresh ginger grated (optional)
- 1/4 teaspoon sea salt
- 6 cups filtered water
Instructions
- Preparation: Place the chopped fruit, honey or sugar, grated ginger (if using), and sea salt into a clean half-gallon glass jar.
- Fermentation: Cover the jar with a clean cloth or paper towel secured with a rubber band. Let it ferment at room temperature for 2-3 days, stirring once or twice a day and tasting daily until desired flavor is achieved.
- Straining: Strain the kvass into clean bottles, seal tightly, and refrigerate. Enjoy chilled.
Pour the filtered water over the ingredients, leaving about 1-2 inches of headspace at the top. Stir well to dissolve the honey or sugar.
Notes
- Use non-chlorinated water for proper fermentation.
- Experiment with different fruits and spices like cinnamon or mint for unique flavors.
