The cuisine of most Asian countries uses such exotic "raw materials" as camel milk. A drink is prepared from it, which, as a rule, is called “shubat” (among the Arabs, Kazakhs and other peoples). Previously, it was considered the most important product of nomads. At the same time, shubat (or, in other words, camel koumiss) is highly appreciated even now, thanks to the content of substances useful for the body in its composition.

It contains a high content of proteins, fats, vitamins B, C and D, as well as minerals (iron, sulfur, calcium, phosphorus and others).
Also, the milk of this animal has anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties that are not lost during processing. They can also be found in such a drink as camel koumiss. It's possibleexplained by the fact that the "ships of the desert" feed on a special plant, at first glance unsightly, but in fact containing minerals and many different acids - a thorn.
Camel koumiss can be prescribed as a restorative agent for such diseases:
- Asthma and TB.

- Diabetes.
- Skin diseases, psoriasis.
- Diseases of the stomach.
How is shubat made?
Camel koumiss (shubat) is fairly easy to make. To do this, you must have a special device - a leather bag (torsyk). But if such a thing is difficult to find, you can cook in wooden utensils (small barrels). Warm strained camel milk is poured into a container, leaven is added to it and left in a warm place to “reach”. The drink can be consumed after a day, while shaking during the soured process is not necessary. Before serving, shubat must be mixed and poured into bowls.
Depending on the aging time of the drink, koumiss is conditionally divided into the following types:
- Young (one-day). This variety has a sweet and sour taste and is recommended for anemic and breastfeeding mothers.
- Medium strength (2-3 days old). It is believed that this drink is of the best quality, as it lasts longer. However, its taste is much more sour. At the same time, s alt can be added to shubat.
Interesting facts

When they arrived in the desert, the sick had already lost hope of recovery.
