Kymyz
Kymyz is a traditional fermented dairy drink made from the milk of horses. It is popular in Central Asian countries, particularly in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan. The drink is created by fermenting fresh horse milk with specific bacteria and yeast, resulting in a slightly alcoholic beverage with a tangy flavor. Kymyz is often consumed during celebrations and is believed to have various health benefits.
The production of kymyz is a time-honored practice, deeply rooted in the nomadic culture of the region. It is typically served chilled and can be enjoyed on its own or paired with traditional foods. Kymyz is not only a refreshing drink but also an important part of the cultural heritage of the Central Asian peoples.
