International Students Try Russian Food | Kvass

In this episode of “International Students Try Russian Food,” Allison and Uğur try kvass – a fermented fizzy drink made with rye bread. Although kvass has a low alcohol content (~0,5%), it’s not considered an alcoholic drink. The name kvass comes from the Russian verb “kvasit”, meaning “to make sour.”

Our thanks to Allison Ascanio from Colombia and Uğur Bayar from Turkey for joining us in this first installment of our video series! Learn more about Allison’s experiences as an international student at ITMO in Spanish on her own YouTube channel: https://www.youtube.com/AllisonAP
