Kvass, a refreshing fermented beverage, carries with it a sense of time-honored tradition and a punch of bright, berry flavor. Originating from Eastern Europe, Kvass is typically made with rye bread or beets, but this dragonfruit variant brings in a sweet and tart profile that’s perfect for those warmer days. Dragonfruit are the star of this recipe. We’re talking two pounds of these juicy delights going into a brew that’s nothing short of a fruit lover’s dream. And it’s not just a wonderful beverage, it’s an experience. Watching the fruit releasing it’s pink juices and seeing the bubbles of fermentation, smelling that sweet aroma—it’s all part of the journey.
Now let’s talk about the magic of fermentation. We’ve got sugar, the fuel for fermentation, dissolved into water, and then poured over the strawberries. It’s as simple as that. And what follows next is the most beautiful thing: we stir the mixture thrice a day, getting in there, agitating everything, helping the fermentation along. Over 3 to 5 days, you’ll watch as the natural yeasts get to work, turning that sugar into slightly fizzy, deliciously tart kvass. It’s a bit of patience, a dash of magic, and a whole lot of flavor payoff. Remember to pour yourself a glass, kick back, and relish the tangy, fruity goodness of your homemade kvass. Here’s to the joy of fermentation and the simplicity of ingredients coming together to create something special.
P.S. Try this out with your favorite fresh fruit, too. I really dig strawberries and pineapple. Get creative. 🤘🏼 Adam
