Yield: 1 quart
Equipment
- Kitchen knife
- Quart jar
- Plastic lid
Materials
- 1-2 Beets (1 large or 2 small, red or golden)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
Instructions
- Rinse beets in cold water. There is no need to scrub the beets, but you want to rinse any dirt/sand off.
- Chop beets and place in jar.
- Sprinkle salt in jar.
- Fill jar with un-chlorinated water and cover with lid.
- Place jar in a cool place, out of direct sunlight. I like to put mine in a cabinet BUT don't forget about it!
- Check the kvass everyday, shaking the jar to mix the beets in the water.
- Once the liquid has turned a bright, vibrant color taste your kvass. If it has a rich taste that it slightly sweet and slightly fizzy, it's ready!
- Strain the beets out and pour liquid into a second jar. Your beet kvass is now ready to drink as is, or you can check out some of my second ferment kvass recipes. Enjoy!
