Kumis is a traditional fermented dairy drink made from mare's milk, popular in Central Asia, particularly among the Mongolian and Kazakh cultures. The fermentation process involves adding specific bacteria and yeast, which convert lactose into lactic acid and alcohol, resulting in a slightly sour and effervescent beverage. Rich in nutrients, kumis is often consumed for its health benefits, including probiotics that support digestion. It has a unique flavor profile, combining sweetness and tanginess, and is typically served chilled. Kumis is not only a staple in local diets but also holds cultural significance in various nomadic traditions.
