Man and woman drinking kymyz
Since ancient times, nomads used to drink ‘kymyz’ from mare's, cow's and camel's milk. The Kyrgyz transmitted traditional knowledge from generation to generation. Even now on ‘jailoo’ (pastures), the way of making kymyz remained the same as centuries ago. The most valued kymyz is made of mare’s milk. From spring until the late autumn, horses graze on mountain pastures. During this period, mare’s milk is collected. Traditionally, both men and women are engaged in the process. After the collection of the milk, it is poured into the leather bag ‘saba’ where the leaven of kymyz is always kept.
