Recommendations before cooking:
- Use only fresh elderberry inflorescences. And never pick plants near roads as they may contain a high concentration of toxic substances.
- Fermentation will take place during the kvass brewing process. This is a wild yeast that is found on the surface of the flowers. They should not be washed off, nor should the flowers be dipped in water.
