Sahlab a Thickened Milk Drink

Sahlab a Thickened Milk Drink

Sahlab is a Middle Eastern drink we enjoy during the winter months, so delicious and easy to make with ingredients that every household has, except for the rosewater and orange blossom, which you can grab from a Middle Eastern specialty store. It’s something different to try besides hot cocoa. I hope you get to try it and enjoy.

Ingredients

  • 4 cups whole milk
  • 5 tbs cornstarch
  • 1/4- 1/3 cup of sugar
  • 1 tsp each rose water and orange blossom
  • For topping: pistachio ground, shredded coconut, rose, petals, and cinnamon ground

Instructions

  1. Whisk 4 cups of milk, 1/4- 1/3 cups of sugar and cornstarch while it’s cold to help the cornstarch dissolve and not curdle.
  2. Cook over medium heat making sure to stir all the time until thickened, you can then add the rosewater and orange blossom whisk together for 10 seconds.
  3. Then serve in cups and top each cup with the toppings.
  4. The measurements made me exactly 4 cups enjoy 😊.
