What you will do
We will begin the workshop with a little tasting of Dasha’s homemade Kvas.
Step by step, we will go through the preparation to ferment old bread to make Kvas.
While we make, Artist Dasha and our clean lab coordinator Emma Milet will share mythical, personal and historical stories surrounding the traditional drink. You will leave with your own homemade Kvas starter to be enjoyed in a couple of days and many stories about this simple and delicious drink.
What to bring
50g of your own leftover rye/dark bread
A container* to bring your starter home
*The container must be glass or plastic with wide openings such as jars. We recommend a minimum of 1000 ml for size.
