What is Salep coffee?
Salep coffee brings coffee together with salep, a flour traditionally made from the tubers of wild orchids. The salep gives the drink a fuller body and a distinctive fragrance; depending on the recipe, it may also be made with milk and sweetened. It is especially associated with Turkey’s cold-weather drinks.
Served hot, it balances coffee’s roasted bitterness with salep’s mellow, gently spiced character. In Turkey it is a cosy winter choice, often finished with a dusting of cinnamon; elsewhere, it can be enjoyed as an alternative to a milky coffee or hot chocolate. It is mostly a source of carbohydrate, with little protein. For a lighter cup, ask for less sugar and enjoy it without an extra sweet treat.
