Sahlab or Salep, the official winter drink of the Middle East
Recipe Information
Lebanese Sahlab
Cultural Context
Sahlab is a traditional Middle Eastern drink, originating from the Levant region, particularly popular in Lebanon. This comforting beverage, made from milk and sahlab powder (derived from orchid tubers), is often enjoyed during colder months and is associated with warmth and hospitality. In Lebanon, it's common to sprinkle toppings like crushed nuts and cinnamon, enhancing its rich flavor. Today, sahlab is celebrated worldwide, with various adaptations, including vegan versions using plant-based milks.
sahlab powder
🥗Healthier: cornstarch
💰Cheaper: flour
Cornstarch thickens similarly and is easier to find.
rose water
🥗Healthier: orange blossom water
💰Cheaper: vanilla extract
Orange blossom water provides a floral note at a lower cost.
crushed pistachios
🥗Healthier: chopped almonds
💰Cheaper: chopped walnuts
Almonds and walnuts offer similar crunch and flavor.
Add the milk and Sahlab powder to a pot on medium heat.
Whisk together until the mixture thickens (about 5-10 minutes).
Pour out the sahlab into your mug and top with any desired toppings.
Serve while warm but be careful this stuff can burn very easily.
