My grandmother used to make what she called "gira."  She was nearly 100%
Lithuanian.  Gira is the Lithuanian equivalent to kvass.  My cousin and
I got the recipe from her and, foolishly, I let him take the only copy home
with him, which he subsequently (predictably) lost in his apartment. He
never throws anything out, so it's still in his posession, but he couldn't
actually retrieve it on demand.  So, "misplaced" may be more accurate.
