Description Products Steps

Sbiten is a traditional Russian drink that was often prepared in ancient times. The taste of sbiten is reminiscent of spicy lemonade with a pleasant aroma and honey aftertaste. The drink was prepared in the 18th-19th centuries, but was later replaced by tea and coffee. At the end of the last century, the recipe for the drink was restored, but it never gained its former popularity. By the way, the name “sbiten” comes from the method of preparing the drink. They prepared it in two different containers, and then mixed it, that is, knocked it down.
