I like to put cumin, salt, pepper and cayenne in buttermilk.

That’s tasty if it’s scorching hot and you don’t want something heavy or you just want to use up your buttermilk before it goes bad.

That’s interesting; in Indian cooking they make drinks out of yogurt and water and often add salt and cumin or other such spices, whisk up and drink after meals as a refreshing digestive aid. It would work very similarly with buttermilk.
