The Best & Easiest Kvass Recipe
Description
The Best & Easiest Kvass Recipe prepares a fermented drink by mixing apple juice, sugar, apple cider vinegar, instant coffee, and dry yeast into warm water. After combining thoroughly, the mixture rests in a covered container at room temperature for one to two days. During this fermentation period, yeast metabolizes sugars creating natural carbonation and a tangy flavor profile.
Once fermentation reaches the desired tang, the kvass is refrigerated and served cold. The presence of instant coffee adds a subtle depth and character uncommon in many kvass varieties. The drink is lightly sweet with vinegar's acidity balancing the flavors.
This simple fermentation method produces a traditional Eastern European style kvass with minimal equipment or ingredients, suitable as a mildly alcoholic beverage or refreshing soft drink.
Ingredients
- 10 qt water warm
- 1 qt apple juice
- 3 cups sugar
- 3 tbsp apple cider vinegar
- 2 tbsp instant coffee
- 2 tbsp yeast dry
Instructions
- Combine all ingredients together in a large plastic container or a couple of sealable pitchers.
- Cover the kvass and allow it to sit for 24-48 hours in a warm place to ferment. The longer it sits, the stronger the tangy flavor will be.
- Refrigerate, serve cold, and enjoy!
