But I love to take buttermilk in all times as it is a natural coolant.I remember buttermilk served in earthern pots at my granny's home.The age old tradition of storing buttermilk in earthern pots has been disappeared with the foray of refrigerators. Storing water/butter milk in earthern pots acquire a heavenly taste which is far better than soft drinks.This traditional drink serves as a good antidote to sunstrokes during summer.
