Mare Drinking Yoghurt
Mare drinking yoghurt is pourable fermented horse milk for sipping—closer to traditional use than thick cup yoghurt. It may be mildly effervescent if cultures include yeast-like activity, though commercial versions are often still and pasteurised for stability. Serve well chilled as a refreshing cultured drink. Flavour is sharp and clean. Not a cooking thickener. Respect traditional lightly alcoholic airag/kumis as a related but distinct product if alcohol content matters for your use.
