Introduction: Tangy, cultured buttermilk, served chilled, a refreshing traditional Dutch drink especially popular in the summer months.
Cultural Background: Karnemelk has long been a staple Dutch dairy drink, historically a byproduct of butter-making and now produced as a cultured buttermilk, enjoyed on its own or poured over cereal.
Tips: Serve very cold, as this drink is meant to be a refreshing, tangy pick-me-up, especially in warm weather. Give the buttermilk a good stir or shake before pouring, as it naturally separates a little.
Variations: Some enjoy it with a pinch of sugar for a milder taste. Pour over muesli or cereal as a traditional breakfast pairing.
Storage: Store in the refrigerator according to the product's use-by date.
Reheating: This drink is served cold and is not reheated.
