Hello awesome friends!

I've been diving into the world of kvass lately(, inspired by some insights and encouragement from

@Marama Elizabeth

and

@Vasi Smith

)—the traditional fermented drink that's usually made from bread, beets, or fruit. After watching several tutorials, I felt inspired to create my own tropical version using what we have available here.

For my first experiment, I'm going completely sugar-free, relying only on the natural sweetness of fruit.

Here's my simple setup:

My Tropical Kvass Recipe:

4 small ripe bananas (peeled)
~100g orange pulp/pomace (from juicing)
~1 liter of water

My process:

Blend bananas with water into a smoothie consistency
Mix in the orange pulp
Transfer to a glass jar (add more water if needed)
Keep in shaded area
Stir daily
After 2-4 days, strain out the pulp
Bottle the liquid and refrigerate

I'm curious to see how the natural yeasts and bacteria from the orange pulp will work with the banana's sweetness to create fermentation. No added sugar, just pure fruit magic!

Your turn!

-Have you ever made kvass?

-What unusual ingredients have you fermented?

-If you were to create your own local kvass, what fruits would you use?

Let's share our experiments and discoveries! I'll report back on how this tropical version turns out.

Wish me luck—and let's get fermenting together! 🌟
