Sahlep, a traditional Turkish hot drink made by simmering sahlep powder with milk until thickened and served sprinkled with cinnamon. Served in a bowl of warmth on winter evenings, this drink is also enjoyed alongside chestnut candy or simit.

Step by Step

How to make it?

1

Mix the sahlep with the milk

5 min

Mash the sahlep powder with a few spoons of cold milk into a smooth paste; this step prevents lumping.

2

Bring the milk to a boil

5 min

Heat the remaining milk in a pot over medium heat until nearly boiling, then add the sugar and stir.

3

Cook until thickened

10 min

Slowly pour the sahlep paste into the boiling milk and cook over low heat, whisking constantly, until it thickens. Caution: if you stop stirring, it may stick to the bottom.

4

Serve

2 min

Divide the hot sahlep among bowls, sprinkle cinnamon on top, and serve immediately.

Reminder

Important: After pouring the salep into the milk, stir constantly by whisking so it doesn't form lumps. Allergen: contains milk and dairy products. Note: The milk can boil over while heating, so don't leave the stove.

Editor's Note Editörün Notu

If you first mash the sahlep with a few spoons of cold milk to a paste-like consistency, the risk of lumps almost completely disappears when you add it to the boiling milk.
