This month (January, 2026) we have Dasha and Masha introducing us to brewing Kvass.
Kvass (or kvas) is a traditional, slightly fermented, non-alcoholic beverage popular in Eastern Europe and Russia, known as “Russian Coca-Cola”. Made from fermented rye bread or malt, it’s tangy, slightly sweet, and often flavoured with fruits or herbs, offering a probiotic-rich, low-sugar drink with a history spanning over 1,000 years, similar to a tangy sourdough soda.
