Salep cooked with milk is a Turkish winter drink made by thickening milk with salep, a powder traditionally ground from the tubers of wild orchids. It is commonly served hot, with a dusting of cinnamon, at home and in cafés during cold weather.
Its texture is smooth and pleasantly thick, with a mild sweetness. In Turkey, people often sip it as a warming treat between meals or alongside a pastry; elsewhere, it can be enjoyed much like hot chocolate or a milky tea. The milk contributes protein and calcium, with 3.1 g of protein per 100 g. For a less sweet cup, use less sugar and let cinnamon bring out the drink’s aroma.
