kumis
Kumis is a traditional fermented dairy drink made from the milk of horses. It is popular in various Central Asian countries, particularly among nomadic cultures. The fermentation process involves adding specific bacteria and yeast to the milk, which results in a slightly alcoholic beverage with a tangy flavor.
Rich in nutrients, kumis is often consumed for its health benefits, including probiotics that support digestion. It has a creamy texture and can be enjoyed chilled or at room temperature. Kumis is not only a staple in local diets but also holds cultural significance in many Kazakh and Mongolian communities.
