Classic recipe
For the preparation of kvass from oats, only natural products will be required, which will not be difficult to find:
- oats, 400 grams;
- water, 3 liters;
- sugar, 3 tablespoons.
The recipe for this delicious and refreshing drink is quite simple. Rinse the oats in clean running water several times, sort it out and pour it into a 3-liter jar. Pour boiled water there and add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of sugar. Mix well. Cover the jar with gauze and put in a dry place at room temperature for three days.
After the specified time, pour the fermented water and refill the jar with clean boiled water. Add 1 tbsp. a spoonful of sugar, stir. Leave the oats the same. As for the first time, wrap the neck with gauze and put it back for another 3 days.
As a result, you get a slightly cloudy liquid. Drain it into a separate container and store in the refrigerator. The jar can be refilled with water and sugar, and expect a new portion of natural kvass.
Oats have been used for a long time; they last 5-6 times.
Oats kvass with dried fruits
The recipe for such a drink differs from the classic one only in that, together with sugar, it is necessary to add well-washed dried fruits (raisins, dried apricots, prunes, dried apples) to the jar. In addition, the first batch is ready for use, since an unpleasant aftertaste smoothes out the sweetness of the added dried fruits.
