Beet Kvas

Grate the beets. Place the grated beets in a large crock and cover with the lukewarm water. Cover securely and place in a warm place.

Keep covered for 6 days then it is ready. Skim the resultant scum form the top and pour through a clean cheese cloth into a clean jar.

Keep refrigerated. This will keep refrigerated for 12-14 days. It should be deep red in color and have a sour smell. If mold grows on the beets this is normal.
