Russian Honey Drink
For hundreds of years there was a tradition in Russia to make speical drink from honey and hop plant.
It is a low-alcohol drink, that was sometimes mentioned by famous Russian classic authors too.
They say that before the wedding all the members of the family helped to prepare a good stock of this honey drink for the marrying pare. Then during the wedding and 30 days after the married couple had to drink only this beverage - no any other was allowed. So the honeymoon was called in Russia after an actual honey drink.
The recipe itself is easy. First they boild a water in the pan, then add there enough honey, then after sometime some very small quantity of hop plant is being added and then, it’s being take from the fire, put aside to calm down and then the yeast is added. That’s all, after five days they have a true Russian drink that is even stronger just a regular beer.

That looks similar to a Uyghur drink from Xinjiang province in China called “Kawas”.
yaa, probably where they got it from. Much cultural sharing in asia.
You are correct, my friend. Consider another example shared from southwest Asia - the special elixir certain Arab tribes make from wheat, a secret ingredient originating in a spice market in Yemen, and fermented camel urine.
Believe me, my friend, if you drank such a drink, you would also want to make a holy war on someone.
I have a special blend I secretly make in a micro-brewery set up in a large cave outside Tehran, using old brewery equipment left behind by some British expats when they fled from here thirty years ago with their tails tucked between their anus cheeks. I have become quite good at it, and all my friends assure me they love the taste as well as the nutritional qualities of my drink. Of course, I can only serve it “underground,” as the mullahs still do not permit open sale and consumption of alcoholic beverages.
However, soon I intend to approach them with a business plan and projection of first-year through five-year sales, as well as a plan for how to capture the Middle East and Southeast European markets. If given permission, I will then announce investment opportunities in the company. I originally planned to call my company Persian-Enginered Nutrition Investment Syndicate, but someone on my ad hoc marketing team pointed out potential problems with the English-language acronym, so I am undecided. I am also open to market-friendly names for my company, so if anyone has suggestions, feel free to offer them.
Cheers,
M. Ahmadinejad
A man who always has something brewing.
Its a good thing then I keep Bees for my wonderful mail order husband. You though I had a burka just to keep the mullahs happy, well it also helps with the pesky bees.
Yours in happiness and love
the future Mr Ahmadinejad.
OMA! I can’t believe you are a bee-keeper! You must see my answer to you in the thread about the church-mosque!
Bonded with you in mind as well as heart,
M. Ahmadinejad
How about….
Camel Urine Nutrition of Tehran?
Acronymic Nutrition Unit of Sahib
Wonderful answers from both Finik and scot. I will forward them to marketing to see what they think, and to see if they would like to conduct a test-marketing program, maybe in the coastal region of Bulgaria.

Mead?
yes - that’s what the country bumpkins in SW England drink.
LOL, u guys have them too? I thought everyone in England was squinting through monocles, discovering theories and only drinking tea out of tiny cups
Where can one buy kvass in Canada?
russian kvass is not same drink.
drink with honey like this called “medovukha”
Yummy market in Toronto
You can’t buy Kvass in Canada, I think. I think it’s most usual in Southern Russia, not in Northern Amerika.
In Astrakhan it is found everywhere. Nearly every bazar guy who sells food sells kvac as well. Not that I drink allot of it, I prefer cola piffed up a bit.

That’s totally mead, which is just about as strong as beer.
Stronger than beer, usually, but depends on what kind of yeast you use. Yeast dies at a certain alcohol content, depending on yeast type. Mead is usually made with champagne yeast, which survive up to (I think) 11 or 12 percent alcohol, about twice that of beer.
It will kick your ass, if you can drink enough of it before you get sick from all the sugar.
It is Medovukha which is an Eastern European form of mead.
Mead is great, but one problems of mead is the time it takes to produce, versus wines and especially beers. Grain/hop based beers can be produced in a month, wines as quick as three months (although wine is usually aged.)
Mead on the other hand can ferment up to a couple years, mostly due to the qualities of honey and the yeast interaction with it.
Anyway, looks good, save a glass for me.
BTW, Monica Broadhole aka Miss India is a USA paid psy-op hired to mess with any and all Russian culture. (There are many, many employed for such purposes.)
How about….
Camel Urine Nutrition of Tehran
Absolutely, it’s a sub-kind of mead, very common for European Middle Ages, and Kievan Rus. It might be that it’s the oldest alcoholic drink known to the Northern, Central and Eastern Europe.
Plz pay attention that usually for “Medovukha” production honey from several Ukrainian farms is used: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medovukha
Also, in Kievan Rus the word “med” was used rather than “medovukha”
I prefer fermented goat semen
I don’t like it much.

Yes, the “Mead” explanations are correct. It’s a Honey/yeast brew parallel to beer/piva. In the West the historians trace it back through Rome to Greece. (Though who knows where it really originated. Mesopotamia?) G]
I like your blog a lot. And I made something similar to this (I work in Saudi Arabia) using grape juice (natural) and some sugar and yeast. Five days works. But this sounds better.
your english might be poor, but its better than some of these peoples attitudes. i love your web btw. and I think all these small random posts you have are great<3
This recipe is BOGUS. You won’t have sh1t after 5 days. What retard believes alcohol can ferment that quickly? Oh yeah, russian brain damaged fetal alcohol chernobyl kids think that way.
Go Miss India!
I was there. We call this place “Graveyard Train”
Heh this looks nice!
Mead! Ahhhh the honey drink, shared by many different cultures. Delicious.
