Sbiten

Sbiten

Sbiten, also sbiten' (Russian: сбитень, also збитень) is a hot winter Russian traditional drink. First mentioned in Slavonic chronicles in 1128, it remained popular with all stratas of Russian society until the 19th century when it was replaced by tea. It is being revived in the 21st century as a mass-produced drink in Russia.

Like mead and medovukha, sbiten' is based on honey mixed with water and spices. One recipe of sbiten' is described in the 16th-century Domostroy. Compared to kvass, sbiten' is very simple to prepare. Separately, honey and sbiten' flavor (spices, juices) are boiled down and then these two parts are combined and boiled again.
