Our ancestors had their own magical method of cleansing - surya, charmed milk combined with magical herbs. The drink Surya was considered by the Slavs to divinely purify the human spirit. And a pure spirit began to create a pure destiny.

Silver-haired Legina said:

Suritsa is boiled in a golden cauldron,

you take a drink, try Surits, but remember!

The first bowl, gives strength,

banishes pain, fatigue and weakness ...

The second bowl, gives fun and eternal youth,

banishes oppressive old age ...

The third bowl is superfluous for people,

it turns a man into an animal…”

(taken from the Vedas "Santii Veda Perun")

The researcher of Russian beliefs and customs, Yuri Mirolyubov, gave a detailed recipe for preparing ancient surya:

“To prepare this drink, about a kilogram of seedings were required, which were boiled in water, then the boiled infusion was passed through a sieve, and this action was called “sowing marmot”. Then, having boiled green grass near a bucket, it was also poured through a sieve, at the bottom of which sheep's wool was placed. It must be said that among the ancient Indians, whom according to their sacred books, the Vedas, Mirolyubov calls the Vedics, the Russian surya was called soma, and the Iranian Aryans knew it under the name of haoma. Let us explain that the sowing is the husk, torn off from the grain in the mill with millstones and still remaining in the flour. But back to the recipe for the preparation of the sacred Aryan drink: “After straining the green broth, a quarter of the volume of honey was added to it. By this time the liquid should still be warm, but no longer hot. Dry rose hips, cherries, sloes, plums, pears, apples and flour were added to it. Everything was left to stand for three days, and after that, adding raisins, they started with yeast, for which the liquid was heated separately and, mixed with everything, left in a wooden tub. For three or four days everything wandered. After the first fermentation, a mug of milk was added to the suryanica and a measure of melted butter was poured. After two weeks of strong fermentation, more honey or sugar is added to it and a small amount of custard hops is made, which is added. After the second fermentation, the barrel is closed with a “circle”, that is, a blank bottom is inserted, and so it is left to stand for a month. A month later, the bottom is knocked out and tested. If the marigold is still very sweet, then it is left to ferment again, and then poured into a clean barrel, in which they put oak pieces of wood, preferably in green bark.

I will share with you a homemade recipe for surya, it is made simpler, but this does not make it less effective. It is best, of course, to ferment surya in Prosinets at noon, but if you do it tomorrow at any hour, it will also be good.

Surya recipe:

• To prepare this drink, you need to take 3 liters of live, not "restored" milk,
• pour it into a three-liter jar and add three tablespoons of natural honey.
• Then dip a mixture of herbs into the milk: 1/4 teaspoon of hops, 1/4 teaspoon of sweet clover, 1/4 teaspoon of nettle, 1/4 teaspoon of wormwood.
• We mix all this clockwise, with the wishes of good and light, and seal it hermetically.
• We put it in the sun for osurination for nine days.
• During this time, the drink must be stirred periodically.
• Ready drink to consume, pre-shaking, a glass a day.

It is believed to be the magical elixir of creation. After the ritual reception of surya, a person becomes more energetic, more successful in business and prosperous. To enhance this drink, they spoke, stirring the milk with herbs with a stick to the left side until the added honey dissolves.

CONSPIRACY:

Surya - Daria, blessed,

Sura is alive creatively,

creative thanks,

Creative and successful in wealth,

Thank you richly.

Surah is alive, Surah is sweet

Yes, to the delight of God's sleep

In the life of creation.

This conspiracy must be slandered, leaning over a can of milk, continuously stirring the drink.

Here is another option for preparing surya (an ancient, heavy recipe).

• 1 tsp milk (not subject to heat treatment, NOT from the store) is brewed in a small amount of water.
• 1 tsp elecampane (herb).
• 1 tsp Chernobyl.
• 1 tsp thyme.
• 1 tbsp honey

Let the herbs brew. Add to milk (you can not cool) a couple of tbsp. spoons of pure broth. We cork tightly so that it does not break off (screw-on cans). We put in a dark warm place.

The drink ferments for approximately 3 days. During fermentation, the drink should be shaken 2-3 times a day.

Simplified recipe:

• 1 liter of milk.
• 1 tbsp honey.
• 1/4 tsp wormwood.
• 1-2 tsp chamomile.
• At will and taste, you can add 6-7 rose hips, 1/2 teaspoon of birch leaves, 1/4 teaspoon of lemon balm.

We brew the grass in 0.5 cups of water. Strain the broth and pour into milk (the brewed grass can not be cooled, the surya will ferment faster and be more tender). We leave for 2-3 days. The drink is ready when, when poured into a mug, it fizzes a little like champagne.

RECEPTION: in the 4th phase of the moon. NORM: 1 glass before meals 3-4 times a day.

As it turned out, there were many recipes for making Surica. When preparing a drink, it is important not only to mix certain medicinal herbs and berries, but also to use the power of one’s own thought to enhance certain properties of Suritsa ( note 3).

Here is another recipe for marmot, obtained by extracting information from the GENERAL Memory (the energy-information field of the Universe) http://slavyanin.info/node/80

Here is a set of herbs and berries from one of the recipes:
- sour;
- Crimean railway station (Crimean Schisandra) ;
- bergenia leaves;
- young burdock leaves ;
- cloudberries;
- young golden root (rhodiola rosea) ;
- pharmaceutical camomile ;
- ;
- sea buckthorn or linden blossom;

Collect all herbs on a full moon with a clear sky ( note 1). Pluck the herbs with your hands into half of the stem. Collect berries. Pound all this together in a wooden mortar, on the same night. If it is not possible to collect all herbs and berries in one night, then they should be dried by putting them in a paper bag or gauze and stored until cooking time. For getting the Golden Root, see the description of the root, but you also need to get it on the night of the full moon.

Dry in the sun during the day. Soak overnight with living water ( note 2). Repeat drying and soaking for 2 more days (3 days in total).

Transfer to an earthenware vessel, fill with spring water and place in the sun. Boil over a campfire at the end of the day.

Drink hot as tea, before going to bed on an empty stomach.

Note 1 - Why collect herbs on a full moon?

We asked why it is necessary to collect grass on a full moon and received an interesting answer. Grass, as you already know, has a soul or subconscious that regulates its life. Grass does not think like we do, but it reacts to the world around it and fights for survival like all living things. If you pick grass during the day, it will release a portion of the poison, protecting itself from insects and other "herbivorous predators", which is not very good for our drink either. At night, the grass sleeps, it can be torn, but its energy is weak. But in the full moon, the moon reflects such an amount of light that the grass is in confusion - on the one hand it sleeps, and on the other - it is revealed to the reflected energy of the sun and therefore its properties are enhanced as during the day.

Note 2 - Living Water

Put spring water in the sun for half a day, saying good words or thinking bright thoughts.

Note 3

The properties of suritsa can and should be strengthened by conspiracy or thoughts during cooking, especially at the stake. At the same time, human emotions are important. If you want to heal, speak for healing; if you want power or knowledge, think about it. Surica can not only be cured, but also killed, respectively, by speaking to her. We hope for your discretion.

Note 4

If you add Sage, you get a sleeping pill.

Kvasura (aka the pagan Surya) gave people a wonderful drink, which was named after him - Surya.
It is believed to be the magical elixir of creation. After the ritual reception of surya, a person becomes more energetic, more successful in business and prosperous. To enhance this drink, they spoke, stirring the milk with herbs with a stick to the left side until the added honey dissolves.
An important advantage: the absence of a hangover the next day, a state of severe intoxication never occurs. On the contrary, a person who drinks Surya feels a surge of strength.

Here are excerpts about Surya from various sources:
1. And so the Sun-Surya created what he fermented and turned into a marmot.
2. “Here is our sacrifice - this is Surya honey of nine powers, left by people on the Sun-Surya for three days, then filtered through the wool.”
3. "How many times have we drawn the sword and repulsed the enemies from ourselves, for the leaders of the Oriev clans were strong, as after drinking the solar Surya."
4. "The Russian gods do not take any human or animal sacrifices, only fruits, vegetables, flowers and grains, milk, drinking surya, fermented on herbs, and honey, and never a living bird, fish."

Researcher of Russian beliefs and customs Yuri Mirolyubov gave the following description of the preparation of surya: “For the preparation of this drink, about a kilogram of seedings were required, which were boiled in water, then the cooked infusion was passed through a sieve, and this action was called “sowing the surya”. Then, having boiled green grass near a bucket, it was also poured through a sieve, at the bottom of which sheep's wool was placed.
It must be said that among the ancient Indians, whom according to their sacred books, the Vedas, Mirolyubov calls the Vedics, the Russian surya was called soma, and the Iranian Aryans knew it under the name of haoma. Let us explain that the husks are the husks torn off from the grain in the mill with millstones and still remaining in the flour.
But let's get back to the recipe for preparing the sacred Aryan drink described by Yuri Mirolyubov: “After filtering the green broth, a quarter of the volume of honey was added to it. By this time the liquid should still be warm, but no longer hot. Dry rose hips, cherries, sloes, plums, pears, apples and flour were added to it.
Everything was left to stand for three days, and after that, adding raisins, they started with yeast, for which the liquid was heated separately and, mixed with everything, left in a wooden tub. For three or four days everything wandered. After the first fermentation, a mug of milk was added to the suryanica and a measure of melted butter was poured.
After two weeks of strong fermentation, more honey or sugar is added to it and a small amount of custard hops is made, which is added.
After the second fermentation, the barrel is closed with a "circle", that is, a blank bottom is inserted, and so left to stand for a month.
A month later, the bottom is knocked out and tested. If the marigold is still very sweet, then it is left to ferment again, and then poured into a clean barrel, in which they put oak pieces of wood, preferably in green bark.
Ancient people were convinced that besides people, many good spirits are working on this drink.
Firstly, this is Kvetunya - the goddess of flowers. And also Prosyanich, Pshenich and Zernich are great patrons of grain fermentation.

In most recipes for the preparation of surya, berry mushroom .
This is a tartaric ferment prepared from berries, containing a culture of tartaric bacteria. The fact is that when making wine, there is always a risk that instead of tartaric fermentation, acetic fermentation will go.
To avoid such an incident, a sourdough is preliminarily prepared, in which tartaric fermentation takes place, which is determined by taste and smell.
If acetic fermentation starts in the berry sourdough, it is unsuitable for fermenting wine and surya (so that the used berries do not disappear, jelly can be cooked from this sourdough).
Preparation of "berry mushroom" for fermenting surya or for wine:
1-2 cups of several overripe unwashed berries: strawberries, raspberries or grapes (necessarily unwashed!) are crushed with a crush and placed in a glass jar or bottle. Sometimes a glass of water and half a glass of sugar are added to 2 cups of crushed berries (or 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of honey diluted in 1/2 cup of water, then boiled over low heat for 30-40 minutes and cooled to warmth) and shaken .
Close the bottle with a cotton plug or tie it with several layers of dense fabric and put it in a dark place with a temperature of 22-24 degrees. WITH.
After 3-4 days, the mixture begins to ferment. Then strain a little liquid through gauze and try (there should be no smell and taste of vinegar!). Then they let it wander for another 2-3 days and use it (the whole "mushroom" along with the berries).
To prepare 10 liters of surya, you need 0.2-0.3 liters of berry mushroom starter. You can store it for no more than 10 days!

About honey for fermentation. Honey is bactericidal and is a powerful natural antiseptic, which prevents fermentation. When heated, honey loses its bactericidal properties. Therefore, to prepare fermented drinks (surya, honey), it is pre-boiled with the addition of water (usually 1: 1) from 40 minutes to 1 hour or heated without the addition of water in a boiling water bath (also up to 1 hour).
Surya honey should be only natural without surrogate additives.

Well, do not forget to talk about the drink:
Surya - Daria, God-giving,
Sura is alive creatively,
creative thanks,
Creative and successful in wealth,
Thank you richly.
Surah is alive, Surah is sweet
Yes, to the delight of God's sleep
In the life of creation.

Mead is thinner than honey and has less shelf life. And the most ancient ancestor of sbitnya is surya. Surya - drink described in the sacred book of the Slavic Vedas. It was prepared on the basis of honey and milk.

In Rus', the honey drink was first called simply “honey” or “honey”. Honey was prepared by means of a medostat (for 15 years, natural unsterilized honey was fermented in barrels).

Since the 11th century, along with the medostat method, the method of boiling has been used, thanks to which it became possible to get a drink in a month, but honey had to be sterilized by boiling. Throughout the Middle Ages in Rus', the drink honey was used in rituals on the occasion of birth, in funeral rituals, it was also unchanged in all major family holidays, was a constant attribute of a hospitable host, and was also seen when used in home hair.

Surya is the most ancient ancestor of sbitnya.

Surya is a drink described in the sacred book of the Slavic Vedas. It was prepared on the basis of honey and milk. Milk was first settled under the rays of the sun, and then with herbs, hops, it was poured into barrels, in which the fermentation process took place with the addition of yeast. And at the end of a certain period, consisting of several stages, the resulting drink was filtered through a sheep's skin.

The total duration of the preparation of surya was 21 days. During this time, it became transparent, white in color, and tasted like a fermented milk drink with a slight alcoholic effect. It was very important in this complex process to achieve maximum transparency of Surya. Modern researchers and connoisseurs of traditions seek to repeat the ancient recipe for surya, while inventing new ways, for example, one of them is the addition of a special milk mushroom to milk to speed up the process.

Surya - the sacred drink of the ancient Slavs (Slavic wine) Surya recipes

Preparation of "berry mushroom"

For fermentation of surya or for wine: 1-2 cups of several overripe unwashed berries: strawberries, raspberries or grapes (necessarily unwashed!) are crushed with a crush and placed in a glass jar or bottle.

Sometimes a glass of water and half a glass of sugar are added to 2 cups of crushed berries (or 1/2 cup of water and 1/2 cup of honey diluted in 1/2 cup of water, then boiled over low heat for 30-40 minutes and cooled to warmth) and shaken .

Close the bottle with a cotton plug or tie it with several layers of dense fabric and put it in a dark place with a temperature of 22-24 degrees. WITH.
After 3-4 days, the mixture begins to ferment. Then strain a little liquid through gauze and try (there should be no smell and taste of vinegar!). Then they let it wander for another 2-3 days and use it (the whole "mushroom" along with the berries).

If acetic acid fermentation has begun in a berry mushroom instead of tartaric, such a starter is unsuitable! In this case, prepare a new berry mushroom.
To prepare 10 liters of surya, you need 0.2-0.3 liters of berry mushroom starter. You can store it for no more than 10 days!

Note:

Unwashed raisins can be used instead of berry mushrooms for fermentation of surya, but this significantly increases the risk of acetic acid fermentation. Therefore, it is better to prepare the “berry mushroom” (tartar sourdough) in advance.

About honey for fermentation.

Honey is bactericidal and is a powerful natural antiseptic, which prevents fermentation. When heated, honey loses its bactericidal properties. Therefore, to prepare fermented drinks (surya, honey), it is pre-boiled with the addition of water (usually 1: 1) from 40 minutes to 1 hour or heated without the addition of water in a boiling water bath (also up to 1 hour).
Surya honey should be only natural without surrogate additives.

Recipes for making a solar drink - surya

To Komoeditsa, to Maslenitsa, to the Kupala rite

Surya honey low alcohol (honey kvass)

Ingredients:

4.5 kg of honey,
18 liters of spring water,
400 g of "berry mushroom" (tartaric sourdough - see above).

Note:

For a small amount of surya per 1.5 liters of water, take 460 g of honey, 50 g of berry mushroom (or unwashed raisins).

Cooking

Dilute everything in light glass bottles, put in the sun and stand for three days for osurination.
Do not seal tightly (during fermentation, carbon dioxide should come out).
Three days later, the bottle is placed in a dark, warm place. During fermentation, herbs or herbal tinctures can be added to the drink to taste.

When the bubbles stop coming from the bottom, carefully drain the surya (preferably with a siphon) so as not to disturb the sediment.
You will get a wonderful honey drink of medium strength.
Don't forget to bottle and cork it.

Before serving, surya can be slightly cooled.
An important advantage: the absence of a hangover the next day, a state of severe intoxication never occurs. On the contrary, a person who drinks Surya feels a surge of strength.

Surya of increased strength (drinking honey)

If you decide to try your hand at preparing the favorite drink of our ancestors, you will need:
spring water - 18 liters;
honey - 4.5 kilograms;

"berry mushroom" (see above) - 400 grams;
natural cow's milk for fermentation - 2 liters;
roots, herbs and herbal tinctures at the discretion of the mead maker.

Cooking

Dilute 4 kg of honey in 5 liters of hot water, boil for 30-40 minutes and let cool to 24-26 degrees C.
Then add the berry mushroom and the rest of the water.
Pour everything into a glass bottle and cork with a cork so that carbon dioxide can escape during fermentation (a cork with a thin tube or a water seal).

Put the bottle in the sun for three days, and then put it in a warm, dark place.
After 21 days, when the bubbles stop rising from the bottom, drain the surya very carefully so as not to stir up the sediment into another bowl. Here it is better to use a drain through a tube with a siphon.

Ferment the milk and drain the buttermilk, straining the liquid through sheep's wool.
Strained transparent buttermilk, roots and herbal tinctures (to taste) add to surya.

Pour the resulting mixture into a wide, fairly tightly closed tub (you can tie it with plastic wrap so that the alcohol does not evaporate too much) and put the tub on the glacier, where it should stand for a day or more to freeze - the time depends on the temperature of the glacier and on the desired strength (water freezes and crystallizes, while the alcohol solution remains liquid and becomes stronger; the more water freezes, the stronger the surya will be).

After freezing, surya becomes not only sweeter, but also much stronger.
Drain the solution from the formed ice, add half a kilogram of honey, mix gently and bottle. Cork and keep in a cold place for up to three months.

Surya is ready to drink after a white precipitate forms at the bottom of the bottles, and the drink itself becomes transparent, like a tear.
Drinking this surya is easy and pleasant, very quickly you feel a surge of strength and extraordinary fun. And Surya is also remarkable in that there is absolutely no hangover the next day!

Another recipe for surya (sour milk surya)

The recipe is based on one liter.
In this sour-milk surya, the "berry mushroom" sourdough is not used.

Cooking

You need to take 0.9 liters of natural cow's milk (pasteurized and powdered is not good!). Then add 2 tbsp. tablespoons of good natural honey (without molasses, otherwise spoil the drink!).

Take 1/4 tbsp. spoons of dry bitter wormwood, 1 tbsp. a spoonful of medicinal chamomile, brew in 100 ml of boiling water and insist under the lid for 15 minutes. Then strain and pour into milk.

Pour the resulting mixture into a transparent jar or bottle, close it tightly enough (but so that gases can escape!) And put in a warm sunny place for 3-5 days, stirring 4 times every day.

Strain after 5 days - and the drink is ready.

It turns out (if cooked correctly) a golden, effervescent drink with a strength of about 3-5 degrees.
A properly prepared drink has the taste of weak champagne.
The drink can be stored in the cold for up to 1-2 weeks (+2 - +4 gr. C), but when frozen, it loses its qualities.

In ancient times, the Slavs had a special magical method of purification - surya. This is charmed milk with magical herbs. Find out different recipes for making this drink!

It was believed that Surya was able to purify the human spirit and change fate. Here is what is said about Surya in the ancient text of the "Santii of the Veda of Perun"

“In a golden cauldron, Suritsa is boiled, you take a drink, try Suritsa, but remember!

The first bowl gives strength, banishes pain, fatigue and weakness ...

The second cup gives joy and eternal youth, casts out oppressive old age...

The third bowl is superfluous for people, it turns a person into an animal ... "

Ancient recipe for surya

The researcher of Russian beliefs and customs, Yuri Mirolyubov, found out an old recipe for making surya:

“To make this drink, about a kilogram of seedings¹ were required, which were boiled in water. Then the boiled infusion was passed through a sieve. Having boiled green grass near a bucket, it was also poured through a sieve, at the bottom of which sheep's wool was placed.

“Having filtered the green broth, a quarter of the volume of honey was added to it. By this time the liquid should still be warm, but no longer hot. Dry rose hips, cherries, sloes, plums, pears, apples and flour were added to it. Everything was left to stand for three days, and after that, adding raisins, they started with yeast, for which the liquid was heated separately. Then everything was left in a wooden tub.

For three or four days everything wandered. After the first fermentation, a mug of milk was added to the suryanica and a measure of melted butter was poured. After two weeks of strong fermentation, more honey or sugar and a small amount of brew hops were added to it.

After the second fermentation, the barrel was closed with a “circle” (that is, a blank bottom was inserted), and so it was left to stand for a month.

A month later, the bottom was knocked out and tried. If the marigold was still very sweet, then it was left to ferment, and then poured into a clean barrel, in which they put oak pieces of wood (preferably in green bark).

How is modern surya prepared?

Below you will find a homemade surya recipe adapted for modern people, it is much simpler, but no less effective.

To prepare this drink you need:

• 3 liters of cow's milk (not store-bought);
• 3 tablespoons of natural honey;
• herbal mix: 1/4 teaspoon hops, 1/4 teaspoon sweet clover, 1/4 teaspoon nettle, 1/4 teaspoon wormwood.

Pour milk into a three-liter jar, add honey and a mixture of herbs. Mix all this clockwise, mentally wishing for good and health, then tightly close the jar.

The composition is placed in the sun for "surging" for nine days. All this time, the drink must be stirred periodically.

Ready surya should be shaken before use. Drinking a drink is recommended in a glass a day.

What gives surya?

It is believed that this is not only healthy food, but also a magical elixir of creation. After the ritual reception of surya, a person becomes more energetic, more successful in business and prosperous.

To enhance the qualities, this drink was spoken by stirring the milk with herbs with a stick to the left side until the added honey dissolves.

Conspiracy text:

“Surya - Daria, Goddess. Sura is alive creatively, creatively thanks, creatively and more successfully in wealth, in wealth thanks. The sura is alive, the sura is sweet in the delight of God with the success in the life of creation.

This conspiracy must be slandered, leaning over a can of milk, continuously stirring the drink.

Also, surya can be charged with your intentions, during cooking, thinking and pronouncing the appropriate word forms (about health, luck, wealth, etc.).

Another option for cooking surya

• 1 tsp milk;
• 1 tsp elecampane²;
• 1 tsp Chernobyl;
• 1 tsp thyme;
• 1 st. l. honey.

Milk (natural cow's milk, not subject to heat treatment) must be brewed in a small amount of water. Brew herbs in half a glass of water, let it brew. Then add a couple of tablespoons of pure broth to milk (you can not cool it). Put honey.

Close the container with milk tightly with a lid (so that it is not torn off by fermentation). Then put the drink in a warm place. Surya wanders for about 3 days. During fermentation, the drink should be shaken 2-3 times a day.

The third option for preparing surya

• 1 liter of milk;
• 1 tbsp honey;
• 1/4 tsp wormwood;
• 1-2 tsp chamomile;
• at will and taste, you can add 6-7 rose hips, 1/2 teaspoon of birch leaves, 1/4 teaspoon of lemon balm.

The herb should be brewed in half a glass of hot water. Then the broth should be filtered and poured into milk (the brewed grass can not be cooled, the surya will ferment faster and be more tender).

Put the drink in a warm place for 2-3 days. Ready surya, when poured into a mug, sizzles a little like champagne.

It is best to consume this magical drink in the 4th phase of the moon, 1 glass before meals 3-4 times a day.

If you suffer from insomnia³, add sage to Surya, then the drink will have hypnotic properties.
