Breakfast Аарц (Aarts) – Curd Yogurt Drink

Aarts is a fermented dairy drink made from curds, often served warm in Mongolian homes for breakfast. Traditionally crafted by boiling and straining fermented milk, Aarts is both a probiotic powerhouse and a cultural anchor. In Munch Classes, you’ll explore the deep bond between Mongolians and their dairy-rich diet, and how Aarts promotes gut health and resilience.

Legend tells of herders making Aarts after long journeys, using fire-warmed stones to heat milk, creating nourishment and comfort in one pot. A proverb goes: “Аарцтай цай уувал өвдөхгүй” – “Drink curd tea, and you won’t fall ill.” Munch Classes teaches you to brew Aarts not just for flavor, but for health rooted in heritage.
