Homemade chicory kvass, 5 liters
During the cooking process, chicory foam forms, which rises and flows over the edges of the pan. Therefore, it is necessary to choose a larger pan and not cover it with a lid.
- Chicory 2 (tablespoons)
- Water 5 (liters)
- Granulated sugar 400 (grams)
- Dry yeast 1.5 (teaspoons)
- Lemon acid 1 (teaspoons)
-
How to make chicory kvass at home? Pour water into a large saucepan. Turn on the stove and set the heat to medium. Place a pan of water on the burner. The water should boil. Only after this add the required amount of sugar and chicory. -
Stir the contents of the pan until smooth, and then bring the liquid to a boil again. -
After the mixture boils, we begin to gradually introduce citric acid.It is best to do this in two batches to avoid liquid leaking over the edges of the pan, since when boiling the water boils very strongly, and when in contact with citric acid - even more. -
Turn off the stove and let the solution cool. The temperature of the liquid must reach 35 degrees so that yeast can be added to it. Stir the contents of the pan until smooth and leave it alone for a day. Cover the top with a thick cloth, such as a towel. -
After 24 hours, strain the kvass through cheesecloth into another container. A glass jar is best suited for this purpose. Cool the kvass and serve in glasses.
