Yield: 1 quart
Kitchen knife
Quart jar
Plastic lid
- 1-2 Beets (1 large or 2 small, red or golden)
- 1/4 tsp Salt
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!
