Asian alcoholic beverage

Exotic!It turns out that koumiss can be cooked at home! Yes, we are Scythians, and we are Asians... Therefore, we are very interested in the culinary recipe for cooking koumiss at home. Even if not on camel milk, as is customary among the Mongols and Kazakhs. Even if it's not boiled in a lamb's stomach, it's all pampering. Nomads use koumiss with any food, instead of the usual sour milk. But the drink is alcoholic, drunk. And I do not advise untrained persons with a tendency to alcoholism to drink it. Although there is an opinion that koumiss is a medicinal drink. Well, if you really wanted to, by all means, make this Asian drink, then - here's the recipe.

Step-by-step cooking

Cooking time: 4 d

Step 1:
All the necessary ingredients
Step 2:
Add water to kefir
Step 3:
Add sugar to the resulting liquid
Step 4:
In a separate plate with warm water and sugar, we breed yeast
Step 5:
Wait 15 minutes for the yeast to rise
Step 6:
Add yeast to kefir-water liquid
Step 7:
Pour into jars and put to rest for 3-4 days.We monitor the water temperature
Step 8:

Mix kefir with cooled boiled water. Add honey or sugar to this mixture. The yeast is pre-soaked in warm sugared water and put on a hot battery or stove so that the yeast comes to life and ferments.

We mix all this, pour it into the prepared clean bottles and put it in a corner for an hour so that the mixture has rested and recovered a little. As soon as it comes to life, foam immediately forms on top. Then, the bottles with koumiss should be lowered into cold water, the temperature of which should not exceed 15 degrees Celsius. The water should be constantly cooled with pieces of ice, otherwise it will warm up to room temperature. Koumiss, meanwhile, is enriched with carbon dioxide and alcohol (which is the most valuable).
After a few days, you can try what we got. We store the bottles in the refrigerator and uncork them only when necessary.
It is best to eat before meals.
