These tubers contain a nutritious, starchy polysaccharide called glucomannan. What does Sahlab taste like? Salep/ sahlab powder is white, starchy and has a velvety smooth texture. When added to milk, it lends the milk that velvety texture and adds a unique creamy taste that you just have to try. Sahlab is a popular drink in Lebanon and the countries that were part of the Ottoman empire. It is prepared from the tubers of a rare orchid flower by drying the tubers then grounding them into a fine powder. Sahlab powder is rich with aromas and gives the drink a smooth and fluffy texture. During cold rainy or snowy days, we would resort to having hot drinks to keep us warm. Coffee, tea, hot chocolate are traditional options. But have you tried homemade “Sahlab” drink? This Middle Eastern winter-hot-silky-drink is an easy option that is loved by kids and adults alike! It is very common to find “Sahlab” available in the coffee shops in the Middle East, especially in Levant In Turkey, Sahlab is always quite popular but it’s known as “Salep” it was originally made with orchid roots flour but the popularity of the drink led to decline in the population of the orchids, so now you probably would only find artificial mixes with salep powder flavourings sold in stores. In some coffee shops in Istanbul, you might even find Salep served with coffee. Sahlab Drink – An Ammani Tradition Every time we visit Amman during the winter, we make sure that we go for a drive in the rain to get Sahlab. Although it is really easy to make at home but when Amman is rainy, we just pick up some Sahlab from our favourite cafe in Sweifieh, it’s like a tradition! Sahlab is one of the most popular Middle Eastern drinks. It is such a comforting drink that works well for a winter dessert or an afternoon drink, it is healthy and not too sweet. Preparing sahlab from scratch tastes much better than the powdered mixture that you can purchase from the supermarket. Simply, combine powdered milk with vanilla extract and starch (take amounts from the recipe card below), then I just add water and let it boil until it’s bubbly. Remove from heat and let it slightly set. This traditional Middle Eastern drink is a dessert by itself, it is rich, creamy and downright decadent. I’ve lightened it up a bit, by making it less starchy and less sweet, but it’s still just as homey and delicious. It is definitely Winter, at least in this half of earth. It was super cold in the eastern coast and thank God, this storm did not reach us here in Colorado, we’ve had some days already and it was time for a break. Sahlab is usually sold as powder, you just buy it and mix it with milk, heat until bubbly and thick. Here in Colorado I find prepackaged sahlab mostly with rose water flavor added which does not appeal to my family, hence we had to make our own sahlab powder and give it a try, and I’m glad I’ve done this, much better, less sweetened and with no strange ingredients. Sahlab is an Egyptian thick creamy white drink, which is normally made of a white flour like powder called Salep, obtained from the dried tubers of a white orchid. This ingredient is also used widely in Turkish cuisine. Since this ingredient is now rarely available, sources show that corn flour does the task quite effectively. It felt like that I was having Muhallabieh but in a more liquid form! Definitely would say that it was a really refreshing drink. I made it quite thick as I liked to pull the drink in but if you wish a little more watery consistency, then do adjust on the cornflour used. Sahlab is the name of a popular drink in Lebanon. It was introduced here by the Ottomans who ruled the region for four centuries. That is why one can find it served at cafés in Istanbul as well as in Beirut. It is made by stirring milk with some sugar and a whitish powder (the actual sahlab).
