Salep is a traditional winter drink thickened with milk and salep powder and topped with cinnamon. With its smooth texture and warm aroma, this classic is a favorite on cold winter days and at tea time.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the salep powder

3 min

Put the salep powder and sugar in a saucepan and mix with one 200 ml measure of cold milk to form a smooth mixture. Dissolving the salep in cold milk prevents lumps.

2

Heat the drink

9 min

Add the remaining milk and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens and is nearly boiling. It should lightly coat the back of a spoon.

3

Serve

1 min

Divide the salep among cups, sprinkle with ground cinnamon, and serve hot.

Reminder

Important: Salep powder thickens properly when first mixed with cold milk and then heated slowly; adding it directly to hot milk can cause lumps. Contains dairy. Commercial salep mixes may contain starch and flavorings; check the ingredient labels. Allergen: The ingredient list includes dairy. Check packaged product labels for other allergens.
