No. 3538 — Moscow Cloudberry Kvass
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3538 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
Fill a bottle or small barrel with cloudberries, pour in boiled and cooled water and keep on ice until the liquid takes on cloudberry flavour.
Drain as needed and replenish with fresh cooled boiled water as in the preceding method, sweetening just before drinking.
Historical editorial note: The historic repeated topping up and storage process does not establish safe contemporary shelf life.
