Beet Kvass

Prep Time5 minutes
Cook Time2 days
Total Time2 days 5 minutes

Ingredients

  • 1/2 gallon glass jar
  • 3 medium organic beets
  • 1/4 cup sauerkraut juice
  • 1 1/2 tsp sea salt

Instructions

  • Wash and chop beets into 1/2 inch cubes.
  • Place beets, sauerkraut juice, and sea salt into the glass jar.
  • Pour filtered water into the jar, leaving 1 inch at the top.
  • Stir well, and cover with a cheesecloth.
  • Leave at room temperature for 48 hours to ferment.
  • Taste the liquid and if it's fermented enough, transfer to the fridge.
  • Drink 1/2-1 cup each day.

Notes

You may repeat the process with the same beet cubes 1 more time. The resulting kvass will be less strong than the first and you may need to ferment for longer (about 3 days), but you will get the same health benefits. Discard the beet cubes after the 2nd fermentation.
