Eggnog

Eggnog (), historically also known as a milk punch or an egg milk punch when alcoholic beverages are added, is a rich, chilled, sweetened, dairy-based beverage. it is traditionally made with milk, cream, sugar, egg yolks, and whipped egg whites (which gives it a frothy texture, and its name). distilled spirits such as brandy, rum, whisky or bourbon are often a key ingredient. throughout canada, the united states and some european countries, eggnog is traditionally consumed over the christmas season, from late october until the end of the holiday season. a variety called ponche crema has been made and consumed in venezuela and trinidad since the 1900s, also as part of the christmas season. during that time, commercially prepared eggnog is sold in grocery stores in these countries. eggnog is also homemade using milk, eggs, sugar, and flavorings, and served with cinnamon or nutmeg. while eggnog is often served chilled, in some cases it is warmed, particularly on cold days (similar to the way mulled wine is served warm). eggnog or eggnog flavoring may also be used in other drinks, such as coffee (e.g., an "eggnog latte" espresso drink) and tea, or to dessert foods such as egg-custard puddings.

Ginger beer

Traditional ginger beer is a sweetened and carbonated, usually non-alcoholic beverage. historically it was produced by the natural fermentation of prepared ginger spice, yeast and sugar. current ginger beers are often manufactured rather than brewed, frequently with flavour and colour additives, with artificial carbonation. ginger ales are not brewed. ginger beer's origins date from the colonial spice trade with the orient and the sugar-producing islands of the caribbean. it was popular in britain and its colonies from the 18th century. other spices were variously added and any alcohol content was limited to 2% by excise tax laws in 1855. few brewers have maintained an alcoholic product.ginger beer is still produced at home using a symbiotic colony of yeast and a lactobacillus (bacteria) known as a "ginger beer plant" or from a "ginger bug" starter created from fermenting ginger, sugar, and water.

Kefir

Kefir (also spelled as kephir or kefier, russian: кефир; adyghe: къундэпс; karachay-balkar: гыпы) ( kə-feer) is a fermented milk drink similar to a thin yogurt or ayran that is made from kefir grains, a specific type of mesophilic symbiotic culture. the drink originated in the north caucasus, in particular the elbrus region along the upper mountainous sections of circassia, karachay and balkaria from where it came to russia, and from there it spread to europe and the united states, where it is prepared by inoculating the milk of cows, goats, or sheep with kefir grains.the principal human benefit of consuming kefir, rather than the milk that it is produced from, is that adults often lose the ability to digest lactose and therefore may have difficulty or digestive problems absorbing the nutrients and minerals usually present in animal milk; kefir converts milk into a low-lactose beverage that still retains all of milk's nutritional benefits. the dense concentration of certain bacteria and yeast in kefir is also believed to aid digestion in much the same way that yoghurt does.the world's largest kefir producer is russia, followed by poland. kefir is a breakfast, lunch, and dinner drink popular across belarus, estonia, hungary, latvia, lithuania, poland, romania, russia, and ukraine - where it is known as an affordable health drink. it is also known in norway, sweden, and finland, where fermented milk drinks are common, such as surmjølk/surmjölk. kefir is common particularly among russian and estonian minorities) . in south slavic countries kefir is consumed at any time of the day, especially with zelnik/zeljanica, burek and banitsa/gibanica, as well as in cold soups served in the summer.

Soured milk

Soured milk denotes a range of food products produced by the acidification of milk. acidification, which gives the milk a tart taste, is achieved either through bacterial fermentation or through the addition of an acid, such as lemon juice or vinegar. the acid causes milk to coagulate and thicken, inhibiting the growth of harmful bacteria and improving the product's shelf life. soured milk that is produced by bacterial fermentation is more specifically called fermented milk or cultured milk. traditionally, soured milk was simply fresh milk that was left to ferment and sour by keeping it in a warm place for a day, often near a stove. modern commercial soured milk may differ from milk that has become sour naturally.soured milk that is produced by the addition of an acid, with or without the addition of microbial organisms, is more specifically called acidified milk. in the united states, acids used to manufacture acidified milk include acetic acid (commonly found in vinegar), adipic acid, citric acid (commonly found in lemon juice), fumaric acid, glucono-delta-lactone, hydrochloric acid, lactic acid, malic acid, phosphoric acid, succinic acid, and tartaric acid. soured milk is commonly made at home or is sold and consumed in europe, especially in eastern europe (bulgaria, belarus, poland, russia, ukraine, lithuania), all over the countries of the former yugoslavia (macedonia, serbia, montenegro, bosnia and herzegovina, croatia, slovenia), romania, hungary, greece, finland, germany, scandinavia and slovakia. it is also made at home or sold in supermarkets and consumed in the great lakes region of somalia and eastern africa (kenya, uganda, rwanda, burundi and tanzania). it is also a traditional food of the bantu people of southern africa. since the 1970s, some producers have used chemical acidification in place of biological agents.
