There are many national drinks which are very healthy. Kymyz is a fermented dairy product traditionally made from mare's milk. Kumis is a dairy product similar to kefir, but is produced from a liquid starter culture, in contrast to the solid kefir "grains". So, it is advised to taste Kymyz, during spring and summer seasons. Also, try the slightly fizzy wheat drink called "shoro," sold at stands around the city. It is reportedly a hangover cure.
