This is my moms recipe. When my family gets together she always makes this Kvas. I been making it for few years now, in most cases people ask me for recipe when they try it. I think this is one of the easiest recipes I seen and it does taste really good.

Hi, What is the best way to store this kvass? Would it keep well in dark glass bottles?
It would keep well in any container but don't seal the lid all the way. It will continue brewing as it sits.
hi, do you have a birch tree kvas recipe?
Hi Lily, oh gosh, you just took me to me childhood. Mom use to make it all the time when we lived in Ukraine. Where would you get birch tree juice here? I would of love some, we have never made the kvas here in USA.
well we have a neighbor over here that has a birch tree but i just wish i knew how to make one before i ask their permission for the trees juice & yeahh in Ukraine my family use to make them also, i miss it so much because it was soooooooo good =)...there isn't many options in USA to make birch tree kvas so i understand & even the hazelnuts trees are hard to find, which to me tastes much better off the tree then store bought anyway thank you for the response Natalya.
Doesn't juice come only in a spring time? Now I really want to look into this 🙂
yeahh, my dad also told me it has to be cold for birch trees to produce juice but i guess it has to be extracted from the tree in early spring...i honestly don't remember i was really young when i left Ukraine to remember how this works lol =).
I try it and I love it.... Thanks a lot
Glad you guys loved it! We have a sauna at home and guys love it when I make it 🙂
Thanks Natasha. I will give it a try..
Hello,
What kind of instant coffee do i need to use? Which apple cider vinegar regular yellow or organic or white vinegar?
Please let me know Natasha.
You can see it in the picture. But there is no specific brand of coffee needed, just any of your favorite instant. For the vinegar, as long as it apple vinegar, it will work.
Thank you, I heard about this recipe 10 years ago and never asked the person who made it. I have been looking for it ever since.
I hope you love it. So far we have been sticking to this one for years because it's so easy and so good.
do i cover it with anything? and what warm place do you mean?
I usually cover with a lid but not all tight. You can keep it in a room temperature if its warm at home. Or place it on top of a laundry dryer, next to heating, or on top of a fridge. It just has to be a little warm.
u need 10 quarts of water and only 1 quart of apple juice?
Yes, that is correct.
I haven't tasted difference. Recently I been using plastic, before I used metal pot.
Does it make a difference if I use a big metal pot? or is plastic or glass better?
