Live kvass
Description
You'll love the recipe for making live kvass! This drink is enjoyable even for those who don't usually like homemade beverages. For instance, I don't care for mash drinks, homemade liqueurs, or even homemade wine. Yet I really like this beverage—it smells like bread and doesn't bring to mind anything negative or "over-fermented." It's a tasty and pleasant drink. The drink is ready to serve.

Step 1
1. Cut the bread into pieces and place them on a baking sheet lined with parchment paper. Bake in the oven at 200°C (392°F) for 15 minutes. Then turn off the heat, but leave the dish in the oven until it cools down completely. The croutons should become well roasted, almost burnt.

2. Place them in a jar, add raisins, 3 tablespoons of sugar, and pour boiling water up to the "shoulders" of the jar. Dissolve the yeast in warm water according to the package instructions. When the water in the jar has almost cooled down, add the yeast mixture to it. Cover the jar with a layer of gauze and leave it to ferment in a warm place for two days.
