No. 3544 — Moscow Lingonberry Kvass
English historical translation of Molokhovets recipe No. 3544 from the 1901 Russian cookbook, retaining original methods and measures.
The author calls this the most common kind because lingonberries grow abundantly.
Prepare as for the other Moscow fruit kvasses, draining and replacing liquid carefully. The source claims the drink can last a whole year without spoiling and loses strength slowly.
Sweeten to taste.
Historical editorial note: The historical claim of year-long safe storage is not verified; continual water replacement without microbial controls is unsafe as a modern method.
Original source: Read Russian recipe No. 3544. Historical quantities and terminology are retained. See the measurements guide. Period preparation and storage methods are not modern safety guidance.
