Mursik


Mursik, thick curdled milk, is a popular Kalenjin treat. It is prepared by the Kalenjin women who preserve the mursik in gourds known as sotet. It is served mainly for athletes as a welcome drink as it is a traditional energy drink.

 

INGREDIENTS

  • Milk
  • Acacia Leaves
  • Charcoal
  • Animal blood

This popular fermented Kenyan delicacy costs in between 10-50 per glass Kenyan Shillings depending on where you buy it from.

According to my group's criticism this drink tastes sour though the health benefits are very satisfying, in a recent survey that revealed 80% Africans are lactose intolerant it was advised that mursik was an easily digestible drink and should hence be taken regularly by them. 

 
This drink is also known worldwide as "Kenya's Secret Drink
