Today we are making Sahlab, a winter drink which has been consumed in the Middle East for over a millennia. It's a thick drink made using a powder extracted from orchids. This old school Salep can still be found in Turkey and Greece, but now most Sahlab drinks are made with cornstarch. I'll show you how to make the Egyptian variety of Sahlab which is a coconut flavoured hot drink that is topped with nuts and sultanas.
