## Vezot HaBracha (Birur Halacha 11, pg 240-1) questions this because of the difficulty of swallowing a [[Reviyit]] in two gulps. He quotes and supports the explanation of the Haggadat Kol Dodi (Siman 2) which writes that Kedi Shtiyat Reviyit is drinking a number of gulps without any break and without removing the cup from one's lips.

==Boreh Nefashot== | |||
# If one ate a [[Kezayit]] of a fruit or vegetable not from the 7 species with which Israel is praised (i.e. wheat, barley, grapes, figs, pomegranates, olives, dates), and anything which doesn't grow from the ground, one should say a Boreh Nefashot. <ref>S"A 207:1, Kitzur S"A 51:1</ref> For example, the Bracha Achrona for water is Boreh Nefashot. <ref>Mishna Brurah 207:2</ref> | |||
# If one ate a food that requires Boreh Nefashot and also drank a drink that requires Boreh Nefashot, one should make one Boreh Nefashot to cover them both. <ref>Kitzur S"A 51:1</ref> | |||
# The text of Boreh Nefashot is ברוך אתה ה' אלוקינו מלך העולם בורא נפשות רבות וחסרונן על כל מה שברא(ת) להחיות בהם נפש כל חי ברוך חי העולמים - Baruch Atta Hashem Elokeinu Melech HaOlam Boreh Nefashot Rabot VeChesronan Al Kol Mah SheBara(ta) LeHachayot Bahem Nefesh Kol Chay Baruch Chey HaOlamim. <ref>Magen Avraham 207 (Introduction) writes that the above text is his text of Boreh Nefashot. Mishna Brurah 202:3 quotes this but changes Chesronan to Chesronam and SheBarata to SheBara but adds that some say SheBarata. The Hebrew Ashkenaz Artscroll Siddur (Siddur Yitzchak Yair HaShalem, 5753 edition, p. 88) has the version of Chesronan and both SheBarata and SheBara. </ref> | |||
