When weathers are cold, salep is a favorite drink for almost everybody in Turkey. It is made with mixing hot milk with the flour, made from grinding the dried tubers of a special type of wild orchid. This sweet drink survived centuries and today it is one of the great flavours of Turkish cuisine as well as Ottoman's..
Havalar soğuduğunda, salep Türkiye'nin genelinde çok sevilerek içilen bir sıcak içecektir.Bir tür yabani orkidenin toprak altında kalan yumrularının kurutularak elde edilen tozunun sıcak süt ile karışımından yapılır. Osmanlı mutfağının olduğu kadar, Türk mutfağının da çok sevilen bu içeceğinin yüzyıllardır süren yolculuğu devam ediyor..
We love to drink ours by adding lots of cinnamon.
Biz bol tarçınlı içmeyi seviyoruz...
First photo of saleps are from the website of my favorite Turkish chef Refika Birgül. She tries them with banana pure.
