Salep ~ Turkish Delight

This week has been especially bitter cold in New York and the tri-state area. On top which we had an unbelievable event, I’m sure you all have heard about the Miracle on the Hudson. A US Airlines pilot makes a remarkable landing in the middle of the Hudson River in New York City. At the office we were all shocked, the river is only a few blocks away from our office building. We all watched in an “Ah” and were all relieved that everyone a board the plane was alive. New York is a city full of exciting and remarkable events!

Salep ~ Aphrodisiac…

On bone chilling cold days like these, I love a hot cup of salep with some cinnamon on top. It warms me up in side making feel all so good. Salep is more of a Turkish – Middle Eastern very popular hot beverage, especially during the winter. What is interesting about this hot beverage, as you read in wikipedia, is that saleps powder is related to a species of orchids and is considered an aphrodisiac. It definitely is an aphrodisiac I can guarantee you that! This should be persuasive enough for you to try right?

I once ordered a something like chai latte from Starbucks, the smell and taste reminded me of Salep and Asure “Noah’s Pudding”. How ever, it did not have the flavor of our authentic Salep. I’m not a big fan of Starbucks and really didn’t care to go back for seconds. However, in Turkey I love going to a coffee shop and ordering a cup of hot & delicious Salep!

Ingredients

1 cup of milk (skim or whole makes no difference)
2 full teaspoons of salep
pinch of cinnamon for dusting
sugar – as per your taste buds if you like it really sweet
I find the prepared is sweet enough

Preparation

Bring the milk to a broil in a small sauce pan or Turkish coffee pot.
Into a nice size mug or tea cup, place the teaspoons of salep.
Pour on the milk and stir, stir until the salep is completely dissolved.
The mixture will become nice and thick.
Sprinkle cinnamon on top and serve!

Enjoy!
Note: This makes for 1 person. For each additional person, add an additional cup of milk and 2 teaspoons of salep per each cup.

A tulip with cup of Salep!
