How to cook deliciously - Russian Mojito Kvas
1. Stage
Products. / The recipe is designed to make 4 liters of drink.
2. Stage
Take the mint leaves off the sprigs, put them in a bowl, cover them with half the sugar, pour the lime juice over them, and rub them with a fork without fanaticism. Our task is to make the leaves juice. Set the bowl aside for now.
3. Stage
Rinse the strawberries, remove the greens, crumble them into a pan and press with a fork. Along the way, discard the bad ones and eat the prettiest ones. We get about 800 grams of prepared strawberries. We add chopped limes with their peels. It is clear that we can just spin the whole thing in a blender, but, I am afraid, in this case the drink will be quite difficult to strain. Pour the remaining sugar into the pot, pour the water, bring it to a boil and turn it off.
4. Stage
Wait until the water in the pot cools down enough not to burn (about an hour) and put the contents of the bowl with the mint in it. This is done so that the mint is not overcooked, and in the drink formed the smell of fresh mint. Wait until the water in the pot has almost cooled down (to 30 degrees). Sprinkle the surface of dry yeast. Cover with a lid /not airtight/. In an hour and a half the yeast will be dispersed to its utmost and foam will form. Now quietly stir the whole thing, close the lid and forget about it for 24 hours.
5. Stage
After one day we strain the kvass through gauze, pour it into plastic bottles, close the lids and leave it at room temperature for another eight hours. Then we put it in the fridge and let it infuse for two days. Delicious drink ready! Serve it with or without ice. Bon appetit to all!!!
