Egyptian Sahlab or Sahlep image

The website which I got this from says this is a popular winter beverage in Egypt. Usually it's made from the starchy bulbs of a plant called orchis mascula. For those who don't get original sahlep powder, this is a recipe with cornstarch as a substitute. Feel free to use the original thing, though :)

Number Of Ingredients 7

2 teaspoons cornstarch
4 cups milk
3 teaspoons sugar, to taste
2 tablespoons rose water, or
2 tablespoons orange blossom water
2 teaspoons pistachios, finely chopped
4 dashes cinnamon

Steps:

  • Mix cornstarch with two tablespoons of the milk until smooth.
  • Bring remaining milk to a boil, stir in the dissolved starch, whisking with a whisk so that the liquid gets smooth.
  • Simmer on low heat for about 10 minutes, stirring constantly, until milk thickens.
  • Stir in sugar.
  • Add rose water or orange blossom water.
  • Serve hot in cups or mugs, garnish with chopped pistacchios and cinnamon.
  • Enjoy!
