traditional Lithuanian drink served almost everywhere that you go! It is a

tasty, fermented drink made from dark rye bread. Grab some friends and

follow the steps bellow to make your own gira!

1) Toast rye bread in an oven and

add it to boiling water, you want

about 100 g of bread per 1l of

water
