Cheers to kanji for good gut health, improved digestion, weight loss and skin benefits! This Indian fermented beet drink is best enjoyed chilled, and has a distinct aroma and tart taste, so you will either love it or hate it! Sip it and reap the health benefits! All you need is fresh beets, black mustard seeds, salt and red pepper, and a BIG pitcher of water. Pat the Spatula hopes you enjoy!
Wash and peel the beets. Cut off the two ends. Slice the beet into 1/4 inch circles. Cut each circle in half
Put the cut beets in a large pitcher. Add the ground black mustard seeds, salt and ground red pepper
Add water, mix together, and cover with plastic wrap
Place the pitcher by a sunny window for 3 days
You will see the color start to turn a beautiful deep burgundy, and bubbles and froth start to form on top, which indicates the fermentation process has started
You can take a peek, but keep it covered
After 3 days, mix well and put the pitcher in the fridge to chill
Enjoy a small cup as you like. It will keep in the fridge for 2 weeks
