Best Sachlab Recipes
SACHLAB
This is a Middle Eastern drink that I discovered on my trip to Israel. After a quick search on the internet, I discovered that everyone said that Sachlab could only be made with a store-bought mix. I refused to believe that....so I made my own recipe. And y'know what?? It's GREAT! I'd say it's about 93% authentic...I'll have to keep tweaking it to get it 100% right. DO NOT omit the orange flower water...this is really an essential flavor. You can purchase orange flower water (Mazaar) from any middle eastern grocery store. Enjoy!

Steps:
- Heat the milk and vanilla extract in a pot on the stove. As milk heats, whisk in the corn starch and make sure there are no clumps.
- Add in sugar and orange flower water (mazaar).
- As the mixture gets hot, it will thicken immensely. This drink is meant to be very thick. Use the water to thin it out a bit, if necessary, but it should really have the consistency of light yoghurt.
- Once the misture is thick and hot, add the package of splenda or sweetner if necessary, stir and then pour it into one large or two small mugs.
- Divide the almonds, pishtachios, coconut, raisins and cinammon between the two mugs. Do not stir.
- You are supposed to stir the drink yourself once it is served.
- Enjoy!
SAHLAB (MIDDLE EASTERN PUDDING)
This is a quick and easy to prepare dessert. I usually always have the ingredients on hand. There are boxed versions of this pudding, but it is traditionally prepared at home. You can add more or less cornstarch if preferred. This dessert is so versatile that it can be served warm or chilled. I love to eat it both ways, when it chills it firms up.

- Add milk to a soup pan or dutch oven pot.
- Stir in cornstarch mixture in milk before it gets warm.
- Add in vanilla and sugar.
- Must stir constantly until it comes to a boil.
- Let boil for 2 minutes, meanwhile still stirring.
- Serve in dessert bowls.
- Top with cinnamon and coconut or just chopped pistachios.
- It's traditionally eaten hot, but I like it cold too, once it cooled off and firmed up.
