A refreshing drink

Buttermilk is a great refreshing drink. What we find in stores is quite thick. So, adding a third of water in a cup and then mixing the buttermilk in can create a good balance of consistency. Buttermilk in stores do add a bit of salt as a preservative which cancels out some of the health benefits of drinking pure buttermilk. But, you can make buttermilk at home too. No preservative is needed.
