Step-by-Step Guide
Step 1
Prepare shaped ice in advance. To do this, rinse a sprig of dill, pat it dry with a paper towel, and separate it into small sprigs. Place one sprig in each compartment of the ice tray, fill with clean water, and put the tray in the freezer.
Step 2
Wash the potatoes, boil them with their skins on, let them cool, peel them, and cut them into small cubes.
Step 3
Wash the cucumbers, peel them if necessary (if the skin is too thick and rough), and cut them into small cubes.
Step 4
Hard boil the eggs, cool them down, peel, and chop finely.
Step 5
Chop the ham into small pieces.
Step 6
Wash the radishes, dry them with a paper towel, trim the ends, and slice them into thin rounds.
Step 7
Rinse the herbs, dry them, and chop finely.
Step 8
Place all the prepared ingredients in a large deep bowl, season with salt, and mix well. Pour the kvass over the okroshka and mix again.
Step 9
Pour the okroshka into bowls and add 2–3 ice cubes to each bowl, depending on the size of the cubes.
