Kissel is a yummy dessert you can eat with a spoon or a straw! It's made from fruit, sugar, and a special powder called starch.
First, we take some fresh or frozen fruit, like berries or cherries. We add some water and sugar and cook it on the stove until it gets all soft and saucy.
Next, we mix some of the special starch powder with some cold water until it turns into a smooth paste. This paste helps to thicken the fruit sauce and make it nice and gooey. We pour the starch paste into the fruit sauce and keep stirring everything until it gets nice and thick.
Finally, we take the kissel off the stove and let it cool down a bit. Once it's cooled, we can eat it with a spoon or a straw! It's kind of like a fruity pudding or a thick smoothie.
Kissel is great because we can use any fruit we want, and it's a fun and healthy treat to eat on a hot day!
