Kvass from birch sap with barley and raisins

Content

As a delicious option for making kvass from birch sap, there will be a recipe with barley and raisins. The most difficult moment in this method is the acquisition of good barley grain, because in ordinary stores it is not, but only in specialized ones. If you have got hold of barley, then such kvass can be prepared at any time from canned homemade birch sap. Barley is crushed to fry, but in this recipe we will not fry it and our kvass will be white. In addition to a delicious drink, you will have an excellent base for okroshka.

Ingredients

Birch sap 2.5 l. Barley 400 gr. Granulated sugar 100 g Raisin 10 gr.

Cooking process

Put the barley kernels in a separate bowl and rinse several times with cold water.

Then transfer the washed barley to a clean glass jar.

Then pour sugar into the jar and put the raisins without rinsing them.

Pour birch sap into a jar to these ingredients and stir with a spoon to dissolve the sugar completely.

Cover the jar with a clean napkin or a loose lid and put it in a warm place for 4 days, on a windowsill in the sun. During this time, the kvass will begin to ferment, small air bubbles will appear in it and the color will change.

After this time, strain the kvass through cheesecloth into a separate bowl. You can store the remaining barley wort in the refrigerator for a month and re-cook birch kvass on it. On this wort, kvass is ready in 1-2 days.
