Mors (drink) facts for kids
Mors (pronounced "mors") is a yummy fruit drink from Russia. It's not fizzy like soda, and it's usually made from berries. People in Russia, Ukraine, and other Slavic countries love to drink it.
Mors is often made with tart berries like lingonberries and cranberries. Sometimes, other berries like bilberries, strawberries, raspberries, or even sea-buckthorn are used too.
How Mors is Made
Making Mors is quite simple! Traditionally, people boil berries with sugar or honey and a little lemon juice. Another way is to mix pure berry juice with sweetened water.
Some companies that make Mors for stores might use slightly different methods. They might blend juices with sugar syrup and water. But the main idea is always to create a refreshing berry drink.
