Chalap

Chalap is a light and refreshing beverage made by combining suzmo (tangy yogurt), water, and salt. If you dislike sugary drinks, this may be the best option for you. The modern version of this traditional drink is available in stores with carbonated water.


The beverage is typically consumed as a refreshment during the summer. Chalap is a beverage that is consumed on extremely hot days and goes well with almost any food. Whether you are on the beach or eating 'shashlyks,' you may not find a more appropriate beverage to accompany your meal.


Chalap is a traditional Kyrgyz beverage found primarily in rural areas. It is made with a combination of still or carbonated water, salt, and qatiq – a thick fermented milk product. Chalap is considered an acquired taste by many Westerners, and some describe its flavor as liquefied, pungent, salty, smoked cheese.
