Kvass

Steps

1. Bring 1 L of water in a pot to a boil.
2. Burn black bread in a toaster or in an oven until it is thoroughly scorched to blackness on the outside.
3. Once the water has come to boil, remove off heat. Add burned black bread, a handful of raisins, a few slices of lemon, and coffee beans to the pot.
4. Leave contents of the pot to cool down to room temperature.
5. Filter out everything from the pot through a strainer, and pour contents into a separate, sterilized container. Add sugar and yeast into
6. Add rest of raisins, and non-citrus fruits of your choice. The fruits will positively impact flavour of the final product.
7. If mixture is not already in a mason jar, pour the mixture into a sterile mason jar, and seal the lid. Place the jar in a warm place (26-30°C; 79-86°F),
8. Remove all raisins and fruits from the jar.
9. Squeeze lemon juice from lemons into the mixture. You may drink the now-complete kvass right away, or refrigerate it before drinking.
