Scientists have proven that this substance, if taken regularly, can extend the life cycle of the body almost twice.

Pine kvass is rich in such valuable substances as flavonoids. Among them, in the first place is dihydroquercetin, the healing power of which is much superior to the action of all other substances in this group. The chemical compound actively and versatile affects the human body:

The pharmaceutical industry produces dihydroquercetin in tablet form from coniferous raw materials.However, the substance is not absorbed as well as from coniferous kvass. The fact is that the drink contains a small amount of ethyl alcohol, which facilitates the entry of the element into metabolic processes.
How to make coniferous kvass
To prepare coniferous kvass, you must first go to the forest. It is better to harvest raw materials from late summer to early winter. During this period, it accumulates the maximum concentration of unique nutrients. If at this time you thoroughly stock up on needles, cut it into smaller pieces, dry it, then this stock can be stored all year, until the new harvest.
Young twigs need to be plucked. They are, as a rule, light green in color, stand out with a brighter color against the background of coniferous thickets. The next step is to chop the brought needles. It will be difficult to do this with a blender, so you will have to take scissors and cut the green needles into pieces 0.5-1 cm in size. Wash under running water on a fine sieve, drain or dry.
How to make copper water
Next, you need to get a water solution saturated with copper ions. You should try to find anywhere on the farm any small item made of pure copper (the alloy will not work). You can clean it from green areas and dark stains by boiling for 10 minutes in water with citric acid.
If nothing suitable is not available, it is allowed to take ordinary copper wire. If it was previously isolated, clean it thoroughly with sandpaper. This will help remove all transparent and therefore invisible layers of the coating. Immerse a cleaned metal object in water, boil until 30-40% of the water evaporates, and copper concentrate remains in the pan.
Recipe for coniferous kvass in copper water
Fill a three-liter jar with 40% prepared needles. Add honey in the amount of two tablespoons per 1 liter of water. In total, it turns out that in 3 liters you need to put 5-6 tablespoons.
After everything is laid out in the jars, pour the needles with hot copper water. This will turn out to be about half a can. Then fill the missing volume with ordinary boiling water, pour it under the very lid.
When the drink has stood for a day, add dry baker's yeast to it. For 3 liters of coniferous kvass, about one small bag (10-12 g) will take.
From the minute the fermentation process begins, the needles can be removed. The first sign will be the appearance of foam and small bubbles on the surface of the kvass. Strain the contents of the jar through a sieve, then pass through a gauze filter. Coniferous concentrate can be removed even before the addition of yeast.
Coniferous kvass will ferment for about 1.5-2 days. After the end of this process, the finished drink must be carefully filtered. This can be done through a napkin, paper towels, in any other way. Then put everything in the refrigerator. After the coniferous kvass has stood for several days, it will lighten a little and will be ready for use. All yeast will settle to the bottom, die, and the drink can be drunk. The recommended daily dose of coniferous kvass is 150-200 ml.
