Kael then asked:

Yes. True kumiss is a drink made by various nomadic people and particularly
the Mongols. While traditionally out of mare's milk (Mongol ponies are
small as horses go), it can be made with cow milk. For those interested in
directions and more details, take a look at this file in the BEVERAGES 
section of Stefan's Florilegium:
