Author: April Swiger
Recipe type: Medicinal Tonic
Ingredients
2 large, or 3-4 medium beets (preferably organic)
1 tablespoon of sea salt
Filtered water
Instructions
Peel your beets, and chop them up coarsely (1-2 inch chunks). Do not grate your beets! This will cause your kvass to ferment too rapidly, producing alcohol rather than lactic-acid (Sally Fallon, Nourishing Traditions, page 610)
Put your chopped beets in your jar, or divide them equally between two quart sized jars
Sprinkle the sea salt on top of your beets
Fill your jar with filtered water, leaving about an inch at the top for headspace, and stir the contents well
Secure the lid, and leave it on your counter for 2-7 days before moving it to the refrigerator
