I really like the idea of making my own lemonade.  My initial attempts
were discouraging [1] and didn't resemble the actual thing at all.
Around that time my father asked me to taste his attempts at making
kvass, a rye bread drink flavored with fruit.  I didn't like the taste
at all and didn't like malt beer either.

Many years later I've grown to enjoy malt beer.  I stumbled upon kvass
online, yet remained skeptical of its description as "Pig's lemonade".
This changed after watching a video from the "Life of Boris" YouTube
channel and convinced me to give it another try.  I'm greatly enjoying
the result and found it to resemble less sugary lemonade, with a
refreshing effect not unlike beer.  Like many folk remedies it
supposedly has many health benefits, but I'm skeptical of those.

[1]: One recipe called for baking soda and sugar, another one for honey, salt and hot water.  I can't recommend either.
