Drinks

Water

Every culture enjoys a healthy glass of water. In Estonia, like most countries, you would likely find it served at room temperature. Try a glass without ice with your meal!

Malt Drinks

Estonians drink Kali which is very similar to German Maltz (malt) drinks. Something between root beer and a liquid loaf of rye bread. If you are feeling adventurous you can try Vita Malt. Click on Vita Malt to order from Amazon.

Desserts

Strawberry Kisel with Crème Fraiche and Russian Farmer Cheese Cookies

Pretzel sticks, raisins and peanuts

These are common snacks in Albania. Find your favorite at your local shop and enjoy!! We like spicy garlic peanuts, but those are likely a bit more Asian!

Drinks

Turkish Coffee, Plum, Peach or Cherry Fruit Juice

If you are feeling adventurous get yourself a Turkish Coffee Pot (called a cezve) and make yourself a cup of Albania’s favorite coffee beverage. You can find instructions here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ocEk0RFkmIk
