>>73109815
>Kvass is a traditional Slavic and Baltic fermented beverage commonly made from rye bread,[1] known in many Eastern European countries and especially in Russia as black bread. The colour of the bread used contributes to the colour of the resulting drink. It is classified as a non-alcoholic drink by Russian standards, as the alcohol content from fermentation is typically low (0.5–1.0%).[2][3] It may be flavoured with fruits such as strawberries and raisins, or with herbs such as mint.[4]
Sounds comfy

>>73109815
I would be we don't have any rye bread and therefore can't make it

>>73109680
Why would you? It just tastes like sarsaparilla only worse.

You can't even buy root beer here and sarsaparilla is also not popular here.

Never heard of it tbqh

I bought some kvass from a Russian deli and gave some to my friend's wife's son. He chased it with water and brushed his teeth afterwards. It's not bad, but it is different. Definitely different than beer and ale.

>>73110438
It's nothing like beer actually just strange naming.

I don't know why but it simply not sold here, even though it's really good drink

>>73110933
You're the first non american i know of that liked that drink.

>>73109680
don't even know what it is mate

>>73110988
Basically soda. Carbonated drink with sugar and sassafras flavoring.

>there are people who didn't drink root beer as a kid
I truly pity you.

1/4 cup sassafras root bark
1/4 cup winter green leaf
2 tablespoons sarsaparilla root
1 tablespoon licorice root
1 tablespoon ginger root
1 tablespoon dandelion root
1 tablespoon hops flowers
1 tablespoon birch bark
1 tablespoon wild cherry tree bark
1 teaspoon juniper berries
1 cinnamon stick
1 cup unrefined cane sugar
1/2 cup ginger bug, fresh whey or 1 packet kefir starter culture

Found this recipe. I don't know how authentic major store brand Root Beer is. Probably not at all.

>>73109680

>>73110955
I like it too. But it's really hard to find it here. And it's also expensive. You can but it at shake shack for~ 3.5$ a 0.33 bottle.

>>73109683
But you are geographically asian

>>73113442
M8, slivovica is not rakija, no need to give Arab names to shit just because your mom got raped by a camel and gave birth to you.

Also, I0ve never had kvass before but I've had root beer. It sucked. But at least it's not named after the Slovenian word for yeast, so I can get behind that.

>>73109680
only niggers

we drink real beer here

>>73109835
I make it myself, learned it from Russians, it is delicious, and if you let it stand for a couple of days more (and add some extra sugar) you make "soldiers kvass" which can contain up to 7% alcohol.

>>73109935
It's where the term booze comes from. Basically kvass but made from wheat bread instead of rye. I made it once, it's not bad, but I prefer to ferment it a couple of days, tastes much better with the extra alcohol. (then again I have a bit of a drinking problem)

>>73113675
You should post a recipe.

>>73113558
>slivovica
>slivi
but rakia can be made from other things too

>>73111246
I've heard they don't use sassafras bark anymore, because the essential oil was found to be carcinogenic (and is used in manufacture of MDMA).

Sassafras only grows in the USA, that may be one of the reasons why it never got known here.

Anyway, if you call it beer it has to contain alcohol. Probably invented during prohibition or by the puritans

>>73113794
sorry I was so rude

I've never gone this far in /int/posting

Bulgarians are OK posters

ye, our blanket term for brandy is sadjevec, but just across the croatian border the name rakija begins to be used exclusively

You don't need bread for that, kvas is made of dough and yeast. There was also white kvas but it is gone since Stalin's wise politics.

Beer is alcoholic.

>>73109708
You can get it here if you know where to look. I love it.

At Christmas I also discovered that it mixes with whisky well.

>>73113792

1x 500g black rye bread (if you can't find Russian or Latvian style, use Bavarian pumpernickel bread)

slice it, and toast them in a bread toaster or in an oven (this is important, or you will make a mess).

Put toasted slices in pot, add 5 liter water, bring the water to boiling, turn off the heating and let sit for a couple of hours, I usually let it sit overnight.

Strain it into a large glass jar, and add 100 gr sugar, a handful of raisins, and a packet of dried yeast (+- 10 gr). Cover it with a towel and allow to ferment.

After a day you can pour it in bottles, cap and refrigerate.

For soldiers kwass, instead of bottling, add another 500 gr of sugar and let it ferment for at least 5 days. at that point I usually put then in bottles, and tie a kiddie balloon on top of each bottle to ferment for another 2 days. Best served cool.

>>73114260

the other one is made with sarsaparilla and is found from barrels in juice and old timey sandwich shops

>>73113855
You can still buy sassafras bark online. I think it's the oil you might have trouble purchasing. Ginger bug is fermented ginger root. It's not even measurable amounts of alcohol.

It's a funny mix of sour/sweet/salty/spicy. It's basically fruity hot sauce ontop sour ice cream with spicy candy thrown in. It's great, you might be able to find some in San Diego if you know where to look.
If you live near Chula Vista, there's an ice cream shop hidden inside Chula Vista Shopping Center that serves diablitos, if memory serves correctly.

It's a shame that this stuff isn't popular here. Although you can find e.g. A&W root beer in big supermarkets. Otherwise the closest things are what's basically a mix of Fanta & Cola (taste-wise) or malt-beer.

>>73159656
Nice. Do you finnbros have some special drink?

>>73159713
Jaloviina or jallu and salmiakki vodka are probably the most famous ones.

>Portugal has Um Bongo

You really are our greatest ally, I grew up with um bongo, no idea if you can still get it though.

It's not sold over here. I had some while I was in the States, it's fucking delicious.

It's kind of like cola but less sugary and more bitter.

That's for children though

I've tried several brands of root beer, I liked some better than others. I also like Kvass, though the only kind you can get here is store-bought (I get it from "Eastern" stores run by Romanians). I made some at home once and it turned out okay-ish, but a bit too sweet for my taste. I like Ochakovsky best.

>non spaniards don't drink horchata
huh

>>73163281
Mexicans drink """"""horchata""""""". As usual, Montezuma's extended family steals our stuff and makes crude caricatures of it, like spicy chorizo and stuffed churros. How do we stop the eternal cuate?

>>73128149
Heh, premium where exactly? I think this is a rumour you guys made up :D

>>73109680
>drinking pop at all

Enjoy your kidney stones and diabetes

>>73163365
Mexican horchata is a completely different thing I think.

Yes, you can find Ochakovo kvas in Russian stores in USA it not the best one and is artificially carbonated but anyway it's worth trying.

>>73163608
My point exactly.
