This,

for

every

Russian

household,

necessary

national

bev-

erage,

which

is

also

used

for

different

soups

and

other

dishes,

is

manufactured

for

the

family

use

in

the

following

way:

Ten

pounds

of

rye

flour,

one

pound

of

malt,

and one

pound

of

buckwheat

flour

are

stirred

in

a tub

with

three

quarts

of

warm

water;

then pour

over

it

three

quarts

of

boiling

water;

after

half

an

hour

add

again

six

quarts

of

boiling

water,

and

repeat

this

in

half-hourly

intervals

three

times

more;

stir

the

flour

in

the

water

well;

let

it

get

cool,

cover,

and

let

it

stand

in

a

rather

warm

place;

the

following

day

you

thin

the

kvass

with

cold

water;

put

it

in

a

cool

place;

let

it

thoroughly

sour,

and

bottle.

When

the

kvass

is

nearly

used

up,

leave

a couple

of

quarts

of

the

bev-

erage

in

the

tub

for

the

next

souring;

the

thick

sediment

at

the

bottom

is

then

thrown

away,

but

it

may

be

used

on

farms

suc-

cessfully

as

food

for

the

beasts

of

burden.

Another

recipe

is

the

following:

Twenty

pounds

of

rye

flour,

and

as

much

malt

flour

are

stir-

red

with

cold

water,

and

kneaded

well

;

then

form

loaves

of

bread
