Kvass is still one of the favorite soft drinks. Making real kvass at home is not easy due to the lack of malt. But lovers of this drink came up with their own recipes, in which they most often began to use baked rye bread crackers. Such kvass, undoubtedly, is in many respects inferior to that made from malt, but, nevertheless, it has an excellent taste.
