Step-by-step cooking
Step 1:
To prepare oatmeal kvass at home, we will need, of course, whole-grain oats. It can be either with a skin or without a skin. I have no.
Step 2:
We will also need sugar and drinking water.
Step 3:
Thoroughly wash the oats from all the garbage under running water.
Step 4:
Then pour it into the bottle. I took a 2-liter. For such a volume, add 3-4 tablespoons of sugar.
Step 5:
Pour 2 liters of drinking water. The taste qualities of kvass will also depend on the water. It is better not to use boiled water from the tap. Purified drinking water is more suitable. We cover it with gauze and put it in a place where direct sunlight will not fall on our bottle. And we leave it to ferment for 3-5 days.
Step 6:
This is our starter culture after the first day of fermentation.
Step 7:
This is our starter culture after four days of fermentation.
Step 8:
Pour out all the liquid from the bottle for 4-5 days, when there is active fermentation. We won't drink it. We still have oats - this is the leaven for our future kvass.
Step 9:
Pour 2 liters of drinking water back into the fermented oats. Add 3-4 tablespoons of sugar. Mix well. We cover it with gauze and put it back where direct sunlight will not reach and in a day kvass can be drunk. It can be drained and put in the refrigerator, and add water and sugar to the oats again.
Ready-made kvass is stored in the refrigerator for no more than 2 days. Then it peroxides and can be a little bitter.
The starter will work for another 2-3 months. So for the whole summer you will provide yourself with a delicious and healthy drink that perfectly quenches thirst.
You can add honey instead of sugar. It will be even more useful. In one starter, you can alternate honey and sugar when adding new water.
If you add sugar, then you can add a small handful of raisins for color. If honey, then you don't need to supplement it with anything else.
The speed of kvass maturation depends on the amount of oats taken. The less oats, the longer kvass ripens. So you can adjust the amount of kvass that you get by comparing it with the amount that you have time to drink.
Oatmeal kvass cleanses the kidneys and liver, and also rejuvenates the skin of the face.
So eat oatmeal kvass regularly and be healthy!
