Homemade Fruit Kvass with Mint

Step 1

Clean and sterilize the mason jars.

Step 2

Divide the ingredients into 2 quart size mason jars, or one larger mason jar. Add mint leaves last, 2 in each Jar.

Step 3

Cover with purified water and shake it up to mix the honey, mint, and berries together.

Step 4

Seal jar with lid let it sit on the counter for 2-7 days. I let it sit for 5 days.

Step 5

When you start to see bubbles (usually after 1 day) release the lid and let a little air out so it won’t get over carbonated. If you don’t see any bubbles, just keep it sealed until the 2nd day.

Step 6

When your fruit looks cooked and your brew is bubbly, open lid and strain out the fruit. Place liquid in a seal proof bottle. This is your kvass.

Step 7

Leave the fruit kvass liquid sealed in an airtight bottle on the counter for another 1-3 days to build up more carbonation, or just feel free to go ahead and keep in fridge.

Step 8

Add more mint leaves and/or berries before serving, if desired.  it in the fridge and enjoy!
