Chicory kvass
Description
The recipe won't take much time. The kvass I'm offering you now tastes no different from the regular kind we make at home. It turns out rich and bread-flavored, even though there isn't a gram of bread in it. If you reduce the sugar slightly, you can easily use it for preparing okroshka. But if you prefer sweet carbonated drinks, then on the contrary, increase the amount a bit. Also, you won't wake up with swelling in the morning, even if you drink it before bed. Just make sure to use high-quality yeast and don't leave the kvass in a warm place, otherwise it will over-ferment and turn into something resembling moonshine. The drink is ready to serve.
