Ingredients
1 pound organic beets, peeled and chopped
1 large organic carrot, chopped
2 organic celery stalks, chopped
2 cloves organic garlic, minced
2 quarts filtered water
1/4 cup Real Salt
1 tablespoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon organic dill seeds
Instructions
In a large glass jar, combine the beets, carrots, celery, garlic, water, salt, caraway seeds, and dill seeds.
Stir well to combine and ensure the salt is dissolved.
Cover the jar loosely with a cheesecloth or a lid and let it sit at room temperature for 5-7 days.
During this fermentation period, stir the kvass once or twice a day.
Once fermented, strain the kvass through a fine-mesh sieve into a clean glass jar.
Store the kvass in the refrigerator for up to 2 weeks.
Enjoy 1-2 cups of kvass per day.
You can also use the fermented beets in salads, smoothies, or as a side dish.
