My grand mom used water and citrus acid as well, it is either way good with kvas, kefir, mineral water or water with citrus acid.

i usually did it without peas, and instead of kvas, I added cold water, salt, myonez, and citrus acid. it is very good and you can store it in fridge up to 7 days

[...] Prepared kvass can be stored bottled in fridge; serve it as soft drink or use to prepare okroshka soup. [...]

Yes, either buttermilk or kvass or kefir, or even mineral water.

I, too, find that the peas is a rather unusual addition to the okroshka…

My mother makes the okroshka with buttermilk and some kvas…have you heard of that?

>> Очень необычно встретить горошек в окрошке. Очень.
Ага, похоже на оливье с квасом ^^. Кстати, а я впервые вижу, чтобы для приготовления окрошки использовался тёмный квас – обычно берут белый, на основе ржаной муки.

Never ever use sweet peas in okroshka. It is not even near original okroshka recipe. Canned sweet peas in Soviet Union were unbelivable hard to find. And (if found) can or two were usually kept for the New Year holidays to make famous “Russian salad”.
