Apple and Pear Kvass – Kvass Jablochnyj I Gruschewyj

The most popular was “kvass”, known in dozens of variants since 1056. The preparation of kvass is long and laborious. First, a mash of water, flour and malt is prepared, which is then fermented. Later it is diluted and enriched with yeast, sugar and various natural flavors. Kvass is drunk unboiled and always cooled. The juices of fruits (apples, pears) and berries, as well as some spices such as anise and kitchen herbs, for example mint, give it the most varied flavors.

“Kvass” today is mainly industrially produced and often tapped from the barrel on the street in summer. In stores you can find packaged kvass concentrate, which only needs to be diluted with water. According to a slightly simplified recipe, kvass can be made at home in the same way.

Note: start 1 day in advance.

Cover the apples and pears with boiling hot water, close the container with a lid. Steep for 24 hours.

Filter and bring to the table when cooled.

Note: The fruits can be used again.

Our tip: It is best to use fresh herbs for extra flavor!
