Milk kvass
Description
Nutritious and healthy milk kvass is perfect for quenching thirst during summer heat, especially if you chill it in the refrigerator before serving. The drink takes one day to prepare, but if you prefer a more sour taste, leave it for another day—it will lose a quarter of its sweetness. Then it's ready to serve.

Step 3
Pour in the milk of your chosen type and fat content, and add the dry yeast. Warm the milk on the stove for 2 to 3 minutes over moderate heat. Turn off the heat and drop a small amount of milk onto the back of your hand—it should not feel hot or burn your skin! Gently mix the yeast into the liquid, dissolving it together with the sugar.
