kvass
The first mention of kvass in written sources dates back to 996. Then Prince Vladimir Svyatoslavovich ordered after baptism to distribute “food, honey and kvass” to the people.

Morse
Initially, this drink was made on the basis of honey. Mulberry juice was added to the fermented honey (due to boiling). It turned out to be something low-alcohol and tasty. Over time, the recipe has changed – fresh berries are poured only with freshly boiled water, and then the resulting drink is cooled.

Cranberry juice is particularly helpful. This fruit contains vitamins of group B, K1, as well as potassium, iron. With such a set, you will get sick less and look better (they say that the juice saves from puffiness).

A wonderful fruit and berry drink that we now love so much was invented in the 19th century. Due to the fact that starch appeared in Russia at that time, it was the Belarusians who first cooked it.

Lemonade
“Pinocchio”, “Cream-soda”, “Duchess”, “Baikal”, “Tarragon”. These drinks became especially popular in the USSR in the 1970s, although some of the recipes were known earlier.
For example, “Tarragon” appeared in 1887, but it was produced only in Georgia, and in the 1980s it went on sale in mass and was the most “expensive” drink – if ordinary lemonade was 10 kopecks, then for “Tarragon” it was two or even four times more. you could.
Of course, the benefits of lemonade are not the same as fruit drinks or jelly. However, due to the large amount of sugar, this drink adds energy – a good replacement for Coca-Cola.
Uzvar (“Vzvar”)
Before the advent of tea in Russia, people used to warm up with a hot beverage made from blackberries and herbs. Each region of our country had its own peculiarities of preparing “pozvara” depending on the climate, traditions and plants growing in one place. For example, in the Kuban this drink was brewed from berries and fruits.
It is well known that Uzvar improves tone and efficiency, and also has a beneficial effect on people suffering from cystitis.

rosehip
Jam, marmalade, jelly and jam were made from rose hips, and a delicious drink was made by adding rowan pieces to it.

Tea
Tea began to be drunk in Russia in the 17th century. According to one version, in 1618, the Chinese ambassadors presented Tsar Mikhail Fedorovich Romanov with several boxes of tea.
