Step 1
1. To make kvass, we need two types of bread (black and white). I prepare kvass using a white bread roll. You can use regular white "brick" bread. Cut both types of bread into cubes. Do not remove the crust.

2. In a preheated oven, toast both types of bread for 7–9 minutes until slightly browned. Remove from the oven and let cool. Place the mixture of toasted breadcrumbs into a jar. Add yeast and sugar. Pour spring water into the jar until full.

3. Cover the jar with a lid so that the lid barely touches the jar. Do not seal it tightly, as the kvass will ferment and foam, and a tightly closed lid may pop off. Place a container under the jar to catch any spills during fermentation, preventing the kvass from overflowing onto the surface. Leave the kvass like this for 3 days.

5. Serve the kvass at the table. The light, tasty, sparkling drink is ready. Kvass quenches thirst and cools the body during summer heat.
