Tang drink

For sure, few know about such a sour milk product as tan. The drink is traditionally made from goat's milk, but recently it is made from cow's milk. The homeland of this dairy product is Armenia, Cherkessia, and in general throughout the Caucasus, each nationality has its own special cooking recipe.

Drink tan originated in an unusual way. The fact is that the nomads needed to preserve a dairy product for a long time - it's not very pleasant to drink sour milk, so they began adding a special leaven into it, which gave milk a special pleasant taste. The Caucasian people do not particularly want to share the secret of the starter, but it is known that a ferment is used as a ferment.

Tang is a drink that is beneficial to the human body. First, it contains many proteins and lactic acids necessary for the normal operation of the entire organ system. Due to the large number of proteins in the composition, it is recommended to include in nutrition athletes and people who are engaged in heavy physical labor. Secondly, tan drink is able to destroy the pathogenic microflora of the intestine, since it has bactericidal properties. And all this is due to lactic acid and natural alcohols, formed due to the fermentation of milk. Thirdly, this drink is used to treat a hangover. To my great regret, many people suffer from hangovers. Drink tan quickly normalizes the water-salt balance in the body and thus relieves headaches, feelings of "weakness" and adds strength. So in any case, get Tan drink, the benefits of it in any case is noticeable after a couple of uses - noticeably improves appetite and digestion. By the way, those who often suffer from gastrointestinal disorders, the drink should be included in the diet regularly, because it includes active microorganisms well established in the intestines. A healthy microflora is a guarantee of healthy digestion and well-being.

Medical workers recommend that you drink up to half a liter of fermented milk a day. This will help you to always be on your toes, you will forget about problems with the stomach and intestines, in addition, stay young for longer, especially the skin, since in milk drinks there is a lot of protein, and it is known to be the basic building material of the body.

Now let us consider the technology of preparing a dairy product. Drink is obtained by zavyshivaniya milk ferments (it includes milk yeast and milk bacteria) with the addition of saline. Sometimes it is added basil, dill and parsley. Spicy herbs give a special unique taste to the drink, in addition, they have strong bactericidal properties.

On the shelves of modern tan shops appeared relatively recently - about a dozen years ago. But in this short period of time he managed to prove himself from the best side - now it is used by many Russians. However, to remain confident that the drink you bought in the store is really a tan - you can not say. Because each manufacturer has its own cooking technology, which to some extent still differs from the traditional recipe. Therefore, I propose a recipe that can be cooked at home.

We buy bifid fortified kefir, add a glass of cold boiled water to it, salt it to taste and whisk with a blender. You can drink such a drink right after cooking, but you can wait until it gets a little stronger (about 6-12 hours).

By the way, there is a similar lactic acid drink, it is called "Ayran". To taste it looks like a tan, but it has a slightly different cooking technology.
