Beet Kvass

2nd Edition EAT DRINK SHINE COOKBOOK - Available Now!

Yield: apx 1/2 gallon | Prep time: 10 mins | Ferment time: 2 weeks

Ingredients:

  • 3 medium beets, peels on

  • 1 Tablespoon salt

  • ½ gallon filtered water

How to:

  • Wash the beets to remove the dirt. (Be careful not to scrub too hard; you want the beneficial bacteria to remain, as they are a crucial part of the fermentation process.)

  • Chop the beets into medium pieces and place them in a clean half-gallon mason jar. Add the sea salt, then fill the jar with filtered water, leaving ½-inch of headspace. Tightly screw on the lid, turn the jar upside down, and give a light shake to incorporate the ingredients.

  • Let the beverage ferment at room temperature, on your countertop, for approximately 2 weeks. Taste it: If it has a deep, earthy, pickle-like flavor, it's ready. It could take a few days longer, depending on the temperature of your kitchen.

  • When the kvass flavor is where you would like it, store it in the refrigerator for up to 1 month. It is great as a digestif or really any time of day. There is no need to strain out the beets. You can even eat them as they pour into your glass.

To make it a margarita, add 1.5 oz tequila or mezcal and a dash of raw honey to your liking 🥂

Serve and enjoy!
