Kvass from oat flakes
Description
The drink is quick and easy to prepare. This kvass is perfect for making a delicious okroshka. It can be stored in the refrigerator for up to three days, but keep in mind that the drink will become more sour each day—the yeast will "consume" its sweetness. Serve chilled.
