Preface

As a joke noticed the peculiarity of the Ukrainian people by other

nationalities, some of us believe that we should drink less, others that we need

to drink more, but all agree on one thing: we must drink. Although it should

be noted that Ukrainians never drink for no reason We drink liquors (the

word for liquor is closer to us), because we value their taste, we drink

tincture, mead. The pouring differs from tincture in that it is based on all

kinds of berries (with the addition of sugar, alcohol, usually contains 20%

alcohol). The most popular types of liquors in Ukraine: tartuha, cherry,

blackthorn, cream and blackcurrant spotkach. But let’s move on from theory

detail to determine what we will stock this summer!

water, and then add sugar and yeast. The result is a semblance of kvass – a good

tonic and refreshing drink.

Recipe:

1 kilogram of any berries (you can even apples, pears, apricots, etc.), pre-sort and
