Koumiss is a traditional drink of the nomadic peoples of central asia. It is made from mare's or camel's milk as a result of lactic-acid and alcoholic fermentation. Frequent shaking was one of the conditions of koumiss-making and an abundance of foam was the sign of readiness. Regaling guests with koumiss began and finished meals.
