Quick kvass with citric acid - general principles of preparation
The secret to quick kvass recipes is to add more yeast than usual. This allows the drink to ferment more actively. The missing taste and acid gives lemon. Its amount is usually indicated in the recipe, but you can always throw more or less, taking into account your taste.
What else put:
• sugar or honey;
• bread, crackers;
