Raspberry Sbiten

Sbiten is one of the most common beverages that was once popular in Russia. It was consumed both hot and cold in Moscow taverns. The taste of sbiten is very similar to a honey-based drink. Its ingredients included: ginger, sage, valerian root, St. John's wort, and other herbs. Preparation: Pour water into a saucepan, bring to a boil, then cool slightly. Add raspberry juice and natural honey to the still-hot water. Bring this mixture to a boil and simmer for about two hours, stirring constantly and skimming off the foam. Once ready, cool the resulting drink to room temperature, then add yeast and leave it to ferment for ten to twelve hours. After the allotted time has passed, pour the resulting infusion into a large container (a jug or barrel), seal it tightly, and store it in a cold place for about one month to mature. When the time is up, pour the sbiten into bottles, seal them, and store in a cool place (laying the bottles horizontally). Serve sbiten chilled.

The taste of the drink won't suffer at all; the sbiten turns out wonderfully aromatic and spicy, warming you up on cold winter evenings, while served chilled, it helps quench thirst during hot summer days. 1) Pour water into a saucepan and place it over heat. As soon as the water warms up, add the honey and stir well. 2) Simmer this mixture over low heat for 20 minutes after boiling. 3) In a separate bowl, mix all the spices—you can use them either ground or just dried.
