Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 4.5 liters Water
  • 4 cups Sugar Brown
  • 3 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar
  • 1 cup Dried Plums
  • 1 cup Raisins
  • 1 tbsp Ground Coffee Wrapped and tied in a tea bag
  • 1 tsp Active Dry Yeast

Method
 

  1. Add your water, sugar, apple cider vinegar, raisins, and plums to your pot and set it to a boil. Mix once.
  2. Once the mixture is boiling, turn off the heat completely.
  3. Add your teabag of coffee to the pot and allow that to sit for about 2 hours. Then remove.
  4. Once the mixture is completely cooled down to room temperature, add your yeast.
  5. Allow this to sit for 10-12 hours.
  6. Bottle up the mixture and place it in the fridge. Enjoy after about another 10-12 hours.

Notes

You want the coffee tied up so you can immediately remove it when needed. Leaving the coffee in for too long will leave you jittery after drinking the kvas.
