“Buttermilk is incredibly cooling and easier to digest than regular milk, while ginger is an ancient remedy for gas and indigestion. This is Shiro's favorite drink when the monsoon humidity makes him feel slightly sluggish.”
Perfect For
All ages
Shiro's Method
In a jar or blender, combine the curd and water. Whisk/blend thoroughly to create thin buttermilk.
Add the tiny pinch of dry ginger powder. Ginger powder helps reduce gas and settles a rumbly stomach.
Gently tear and crush the mint leaves, stirring them into the buttermilk for a fresh aroma.
Pour a small amount over their meal or serve in a shallow bowl as a midday refresher.
Storage
Serve fresh or store in the fridge for up to 24 hours.
Serving Amount
1/2 cup to 1 cup for large dogs, served cool (not ice-cold).
