This drink is valuable for its medicinal qualities and as a digestive aid. Beets are just loaded with nutrients. One glass morning and night is an excellent blood tonic, promotes regularity, aids digestion, alkalizes the blood, cleanses the liver.
Ingredients:
3 medium or 2 large organic beets, peeled and chopped up coarsely
200mls Molkosan (or you can use raw whey)
1 tablespoon Himalayan salt
Filtered water
Method:
Place beets, Molkosan (or whey) and salt in a 8-cup glass container. Add filtered water to fill the container. Stir well and cover securely. Keep at room temperature for 2 days before transferring to refrigerator.
When most of the liquid has been drunk, you may fill up the container with water and keep at room temperature another 2 days. The resulting brew will be slightly less strong than the first.
After second brew, discard the beets and start again.
NOTE: Do not use grated beets in the preparation of beet tonic. When grated, beets exude too much juice resulting in too rapid fermentation that favours the production of alcohol rather than lactic acid.
*Beet kvass may also be used in place of vinegar in salad dressings and as an addition to soups.
