Frequently Asked Questions

What is Mors?

Mors is a traditional Russian berry drink made by cooking berries with water, sugar, and sometimes honey. It is known for its bright color and tart, refreshing taste.

Can I use other berries?

Yes, lingonberries, blackcurrants, or raspberries are excellent alternatives that provide similar tart profiles.

Why do you add the juice at the end?

Adding a portion of raw juice at the end preserves the fresh, bright berry aroma that would otherwise dissipate during boiling.

Should I filter it completely?

You can leave some pulp for a thicker texture, but traditionally, Mors is strained until clear and vibrant.

Can this be served hot?

While usually served cold in summer, it can be served warm in winter as a comforting, vitamin-rich drink.
