sahlep
i would just like to take a moment to express my great lovefor sahlep. sahlep is a drink that i discovered the last night
i was in istanbul, sitting next to the bosphorus, at the mado
cafe in ortakoy with kasim. sahlep is made with dried orchid
roots-- mixed with milk, and served piping hot. it's absolutely
delicious.
well, with the snow falling outside and the siberian winds
blowing from the north, it's the perfect time for sahlep again.
had some last night-- curled up on the couch, next to the
radiator-- smiling, feeling happy, warm, content.

I absolutely love Salep! It is so relaxing.
Dried orchid roots! You paint a nice picture with the warm drink and the snow falling. Sleep weel.
Mmmmm.... Sahlep. Must find a recipe online. Think I've had it with cinammon in too?
