A traditional summer drink which we often prepare at home any time a year.
We use cow milk for making curd at our home. My grandma used to collect the malai/the layer from the curd and makes butter after week time. She used to blend the curd with collected malai, extract the butter from it and use the churned curd for making this recipe. Sometimes, she simply churns the curd and adds the seasoning if we demand it.
During our summer vacation, she used to prepare it in larger quantity and store it in earthen pots which keep the chillness of the butter milk naturally for longer time. I guess this is also a one of the secrets which makes the butter milk more tastier.
