Želite nešto ukusno za popiti u tmurnom zimskom danu? Probajte uzvar – tradicionalno ukrajinsko bezalkoholno piće od suhog voća. Njegovo ime je izvedeno iz ukrajinske riječi “zavaryty”, što znači “skuhati, prokuhati”. Spominje se u starim knjigama i samostanskim kronikama još od davnina.
Ovo slatko piće je neizostavan dio tradicionalnog svečanog jelovnika za božićnu večeru. Služi se vruće ili hladno, s medom ili šećerom ili bez njih.
Sastojci:
- Suhe jabuke, kruške, šljive itd. po želji – 350 g
- Voda – 3 litre
- Šećer ili med
- Grožđice, ružmarin po želji
Zakuhajte vodu i dodajte obilnu količinu suhog voća. Pustite da krčka nekoliko minuta. Isključite štednjak i poklopite. Dodajte šećer ili med za 15-20 minuta.
Također možete jednostavno preliti kipuću vodu u termos s suhim voćem. Uživajte za 5-6 sati.
Dobar tek! Smachnogo!
