    • Recipe Description:

    Beet kvass that actually tastes good? Is it even possible?! I've been determined to make a beet kvass that I not only can drink but actually like. I think I found it thanks to Jenny from Nourished Kitchen's Fermented Beets with Orange and Ginger. I thought I would add orange zest and ginger slices to my normal beet kvass recipe. That is exactly what was needed. It tastes great as is but add a second fermentation with orange or apple juice for some extra yum!

    Recipe Ingredients:

  • 6 medium beets, scrubbed and very roughly chopped
  • 2" knob of ginger, sliced thin
  • Zest and juice of 1 orange (since we're using the skin, I recommend using organic oranges)
  • 4 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 cup vegetable culture, reserved kvass from a previous batch, whey or an extra 2 tbsp sea salt
  • Filtered water

    • Recipe Instructions:

    Place beets, ginger, orange (zest and juice), salt and culture in a 1 gallon jar. Top with filtered water and cover loosely. Let set at room temperature for 3 days. Strain and bottle the rich red liquid. Use strained beets again for another batch.

    For a second fermentation, fill air tight bottles like these flip top bottles, about 3/4 full. Fill the rest of the way with orange juice (apple juice is great too) cover tightly and set 12-24 hrs at room temp. Move to fridge and enjoy!

    So I made the kvass and it has a powdery looking substance floating on top at the end of the third day. Is this normal, or it bad???? Thanks for your help!! Reply

      Normal and happens sometimes. Just skim it off as it can have an unpleasant taste. The kvass is fine. Reply
