Mursik

description Mursik Overview

Mursik is a traditional fermented milk associated particularly with Kenya's Kalenjin communities. It is commonly prepared by fermenting milk in a cleaned gourd whose interior has been treated with soot or charcoal from selected plants, a process that affects the drink's color, aroma, and smoky flavor. Mursik is consumed as an everyday food and served on important social occasions, reflecting both pastoral dairy practices and the cultural importance of cattle and milk.
