Apple kissel is a delicate and refreshing drink of Russian cuisine that evokes childhood and home comfort. Its history traces back to traditional Slavic recipes where kissels were made from various berries, fruits, and even oat flour. This kissel has the natural sweetness of baked apples that turn into fragrant puree after boiling, mixed with sugar and a light thickness of potato starch. It has a soft, velvety taste with a slight tartness that perfectly complements desserts or serves as an independent treat. It can be served warm or chilled, sometimes with milk or cream for a richer flavor. In Russian cuisine, kissel is not only a beloved delicacy but also aids digestion due to its soft texture and natural ingredients.
