Rowan Kvass
Description
The recipe won't take much time. For the kvass, it's best to use rowanberries after the first frosts or slightly freeze them in the freezer to remove bitterness. You can prepare it using fresh, frozen, or even dried berries, which should be soaked for 24 hours beforehand. Keep in mind that this kvass has a low alcohol content, approximately 1 to 3 degrees, so it shouldn't be consumed if you're driving.
