Salep (Turkish Hot Milk Drink)

Ingredients

• •4 cups whole milk
• •2 tbsp salep powder
• •1/4 cup granulated sugar
• •1 tsp ground cinnamon

Directions

1. 1Whisk salep powder and sugar together in a small bowl so the powder disperses evenly.
2. 2Pour the milk into a saucepan and whisk in the salep-sugar mixture while the milk is still cold.
3. 3Cook over medium-low heat, whisking constantly, until the drink begins to thicken.
4. 4Continue cooking 5–7 minutes until it lightly coats the back of a spoon.
5. 5Divide among warm mugs and dust each serving generously with cinnamon.
6. 6Serve immediately while hot and silky.

💡 Mix the salep powder with sugar before adding it to milk; this helps prevent the fine powder from forming stubborn lumps.
