Tasty Facts
Kvass for okroshka
For okroshka, fresh kvass or kvass prepared at home is best suited. Mix kvass with products for dressing in advance in order to have time to insist kvass in the refrigerator for half an hour or an hour.

If kvass for okroshka is bought in a store, it is necessary to take “live” kvass of a dark color, medium sweetness and sharpness, ideally barrel kvass.
Kefir for okroshka

Improving dressing for kvass
If the dressing is prepared on kvass, 1 chicken yolk can be ground in it – then the okroshka will become thicker.
If the okroshka is too sour, you should dilute the dressing. To adjust the acidity of the dressing, it is recommended to add a little lemon, after which be sure to taste the dressing. It is important that the acid goes well with salty and spicy tastes.
