• 
  Pour water into a large saucepan. Turn on the stove and set the heat to medium. We put a pot of water on the burner. The water should boil. Only then add the required amount of sugar and chicory.
• 
  Stir the contents of the pan until smooth, and then bring the liquid to a boil again.
• 
  After the mixture boils, we begin to gradually introduce citric acid. It is best to do this in two passes in order to avoid liquid escaping the edges of the pan, since the water boils very much during boiling, and even more on contact with citric acid.
• 
  Turn off the stove and let the solution cool. The temperature of the liquid must reach 35 degrees so that yeast can be poured into it. Stir the contents of the pan until smooth and leave it alone for a day. Cover with a thick cloth on top, such as a towel.
• 
  After 24 hours, filter the kvass through cheesecloth into another container. A glass jar is best suited for this purpose. We cool the kvass and serve in glasses.
