Kisel is a fruit drink, or sometimes a dessert, that consists of a sweetened juice thickened with potatoe, cornstarch or sometimes even arrow roots with an optional addition of wine and/or fruits. Depending on the amount of starch used it is either drunk, used as a sort of syrup to placed on icecream and/or pancakes, or it becomes a sort of pudding/jello!
