Sita (full)- water sweetened with honey, honey infusion, boiled honey on water. It was used to prepare sweet delicacies beloved by the Eastern Slavs. We ate kutya when we were full.

In Ancient Rus', “dissolved” honey was a popular drink that was consumed after meals. From the word “full” comes the expression “eat until you’re full,” that is, “you ate everything and it’s time for something sweet—you’re full.”

One of the recipes for preparing food was to pour boiling water over honeycombs placed in a barrel. After dissolving the honey in water, the drink was filtered from the wax and consumed chilled.

To get full, honey, sometimes even in honeycombs, was poured with warm water (up to 30 °C), but not hot, as otherwise the wax in the honeycombs would begin to melt. Sometimes the food was boiled over a fire; herbs, spices, and hops could be added for flavor

From our master class you will learn how to prepare a real elixir of health, youth and longevity with a unique taste and aroma at home.

The recipe is very simple, so once you master it, you can experiment yourself and add additional spices or vary the proportions to taste.

Since the main ingredient in our recipe is lemon juice, let’s remember the easiest way to squeeze it. Of course, when you have a citrus juicer at hand, the question disappears by itself, but if you don’t have it, you shouldn’t be upset.

• Place the ripe, washed lemon in boiling water for a couple of minutes, then cool so that your hand can tolerate it, and cut it in half.
• First, insert a teaspoon into one half - it should reach the rind, turn it over and squeeze the lemon until the juice comes out.
• Then, continuing to squeeze it, we begin to rotate the spoon inside.

Thanks to heat treatment and this method of squeezing, you will get a whole half. We do the same with the other part of the lemon.

Now that we have remembered how to make lemon juice yourself easily and quickly, preparing the drink will be simplified even more.

Recipe in blender

Well, for those who don’t want to bother with making juice at all, we recommend the following recipe.

• Place ½ lemon into a blender along with the zest - to do this, wash it thoroughly and rub it with a sponge to remove waxes.
• There we also put peeled and cut into slices ginger root (1 cm), add 20-30 g of honey, pour a glass of water with or without sparkling water and beat well.
• You need to grind and mix everything for at least 1 minute so that the honey is thoroughly dispersed and the ginger is completely crushed.

Then we filter the resulting mixture through several layers of gauze directly into a carafe and begin to slowly add water. You can also use carbonated or plain. Add it in portions of 150 - 200 ml, constantly tasting the drink to be able to track changes in taste and not dilute it too much.
