Kumis is a popular Colombian fermented milk drink with a creamy texture, mildly tangy flavor, and gentle sweetness. It is commonly enjoyed cold at breakfast, in lunchboxes, or as an afternoon snack with bread, crackers, or Colombian baked goods.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This homemade Colombian-style version is made by fermenting whole milk with plain kumis containing live cultures. Once it has thickened and developed a pleasant tart flavor, it is sweetened and chilled before serving.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n<\/stop>\n<\/stop>\n<\/linearGradient>\n<\/defs>\n\n<\/symbol>\n<\/defs>\n<\/svg>\nPrint<\/a><\/span>

class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><strong>Heat the milk,<\/strong> pour the milk into a clean saucepan and heat it over medium heat until it reaches 82\u201385 \u00b0C, without allowing it to boil vigorously. Keep it at that temperature for 2 minutes to improve the final texture.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Cool the milk,<\/strong> remove the saucepan from the heat and let the milk cool to 38\u201342 \u00b0C. It should feel warm, not hot; milk that is too hot can damage the live cultures.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Add the starter,<\/strong> transfer 240 ml warm milk (1 cup) to a bowl and whisk in the plain kumis until smooth. Pour that mixture back into the saucepan and stir gently without overmixing.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Ferment the kumis,<\/strong> transfer the mixture to a clean glass jar, cover it loosely, and let it rest for 8 to 12 hours in a warm place, ideally around 38\u201342 \u00b0C. It is ready when it smells pleasantly tangy and has thickened slightly.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><strong>Sweeten and chill,<\/strong> add the sugar and vanilla, if using. Whisk by hand or blend for 15 seconds until smooth. Refrigerate for at least 4 hours before serving.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Chef\u2019s Tips<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Use pasteurized milk and plain commercial kumis with live cultures for a more dependable fermentation.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Wash and dry all utensils thoroughly before starting.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Do not ferment longer than 12 hours in a warm environment, or the flavor may become overly sour.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Refrigerate the kumis as soon as it has fermented.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Save 90 ml of your freshly made kumis to start another batch within the next 5 days.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Traditional Variations<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Many Colombian households make kumis sweeter by increasing the sugar slightly. Vanilla is another common flavoring. Some homemade versions include powdered milk for a thicker consistency, although the basic milk-and-starter method retains the drink\u2019s most characteristic flavor.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">How to Serve<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Serve kumis cold in a glass or cup. It is traditionally enjoyed for breakfast or as an afternoon snack with sweet bread, Colombian rolls, cheese bread, crackers, or fresh cheese.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Recommended Pairings<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Almoj\u00e1bana.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Colombian cheese bread.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Mogolla-style sweet rolls.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Plain crackers.<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fresh farmer\u2019s cheese.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\">A Culinary Fact<\/h2>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">While kumis has roots in fermented drinks from Central Asia, Colombia developed its own familiar version using cow\u2019s milk, with a sweeter and creamier profile for everyday drinking. Colombian kumis is generally thicker and milder than several other traditional fermented milk drinks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Kumis is a popular Colombian fermented milk drink with a creamy texture, mildly tangy flavor, and gentle sweetness.

The flavor may be slightly different, but it can work as a starter for fermenting milk. Plain commercial kumis usually gives a result closer to the familiar Colombian flavor and consistency."},{"question":"How do I know whether the kumis fermented properly?","answer":"It should smell fresh, milky, and lightly tart, without unpleasant odors or visible mold. The texture should be somewhat thick, although a small amount of whey separation can be normal. Discard it without tasting if you see mold, unusual colors, a strong spoiled smell, or an abnormal texture."},{"question":"How long does homemade kumis last?","answer":"Store it in a clean, covered container in the refrigerator for up to 5 days.
