Belarusian-style borscht
Description
The recipe won't take much time. Today I'm offering you this rather unusual Belarusian-style beet soup. The special touch comes from birch sap, which gives the cold soup a unique flavor and is also rich in vitamins. Therefore, this Belarusian-style beet soup can definitely be considered a diet dish. Of course, fresh birch sap is only available in spring, but you can preserve it and store it in a cool place, or make kvass from it to use in the soup. Give it a try—you'll definitely like it. Serve the soup hot.
