An Eastern European tonic — earthy, salty, and deeply nourishing. Beet kvass is more of a probiotic shot than a soda. It's traditionally drunk in small glasses as a digestive aid.

Ingredients

Method

  1. Place the beet cubes in a clean quart jar.
  2. Dissolve the salt in the water and pour over the beets. Add whey or starter liquid if using.
  3. Cover with a cloth and rubber band.
  4. Ferment at room temperature for 3-5 days. The liquid will turn deep, dark red.
  5. Taste at day 3. It should be tangy, earthy, and slightly salty. When the flavor is right, strain out the beets and bottle the kvass. Refrigerate.
