Are you curious about trying out a traditional fermented beverage called Kumis? Well, you're in luck! In this step-by-step guide, we will walk you through the process of preparing delicious Kumis right in your own kitchen. So, put on your apron and let's get started!

Gather the Ingredients

Before you begin, make sure you have all the necessary ingredients handy. Here's a list of what you'll need:

  • 2 liters of raw mare's milk
  • Kumis starter culture
  • 1 tablespoon of honey
  • Clean glass jars with lids
  • Strainer or cheesecloth

Preparing the Kumis Starter Culture

The first step in making Kumis is to prepare the starter culture. Follow these simple steps:

  1. Heat a small amount of mare's milk and let it cool until it reaches lukewarm temperature.
  2. Add the Kumis starter culture to the lukewarm milk and mix well.
  3. Cover the mixture and let it ferment for about 24 hours in a warm spot.

Making Kumis from Scratch

Once your starter culture is ready, it's time to make Kumis!

  1. Pour the remaining raw mare's milk into a clean glass jar.
  2. Add the prepared Kumis starter culture to the jar and mix well.
  3. Blend in the honey for added sweetness.
  4. Tightly cover the jar with its lid.
  5. Place the jar in a warm spot away from direct sunlight.
  6. Allow it to ferment for about 48 to 72 hours, depending on your taste preferences.

The Fermentation Process

During the fermentation process, important biochemical changes occur, transforming the milk into Kumis. Here are a few things to keep in mind:

  • Make sure to check the jar daily and release any built-up pressure by gently opening and closing the lid.
  • The longer you ferment the Kumis, the tangier it will become.
  • Feel free to taste the Kumis during the fermentation process to adjust the flavor to your liking.

Straining and Storing Your Kumis

Once the fermentation period is complete, it's time to strain and store your delicious Kumis:

  1. Place a strainer or cheesecloth over a clean container.
  2. Pour the fermented Kumis through the strainer to remove any solids.
  3. Gently press on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible.
  4. Transfer the strained Kumis into glass bottles or jars for storage.
  5. Keep the bottles refrigerated to slow down further fermentation.

And there you have it – your very own homemade Kumis ready to be enjoyed! Remember to share the experience with friends and family, and savor the unique flavor of this traditional beverage. Cheers!
