4 WAYS TO MAKE REAL BUTTERMILK
Make cultured butter. The liquid byproduct is cultured buttermilk.
Buy a starter culture and combine with fresh milk.
Allow raw milk to sit at room temperature to clabber. Culture and re-culture several batches of milk until the milk thicken dependably and tastes tart, but not bitter.
Combine 1 Tbsp of store-bought buttermilk per 1 cup of fresh milk and allow to thicken at room temperature.
If you have an affordable source of raw milk, either #1 or #3 will be your most frugal options. For those who do not (including myself), the best route will be #4, and saving some from each batch to re-culture another one.
