Prepare the rye bread, sugar, and the other ingredients, and have the blender or pot ready.
Toast the bread in the oven for 10 minutes.
Put the bread, sugar, and water into a jar.
Add the yeast and leave at room temperature for 24 hours.
Serve the kvass cold without waiting.
💡 Tip: Do not seal the jar completely; during the 24-hour fermentation, gas release keeps the drink more balanced.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Chill thoroughly and serve in a thick glass with a few ice cubes.
