Method

Whisk the base

Pour the Milk into a small saucepan while it is still cold, then add the Salep powder and granulated sugar. Whisk well until the powder and sugar are fully dissolved and you no longer see any lumps clinging to the sides or bottom of the pan.

Cook until thickened

Set the saucepan over medium-low heat and cook the milk, salep, and sugar mixture, whisking constantly, for 8–10 minutes. Keep the heat gentle so it does not boil aggressively; you want it steaming, slightly frothy, and thickened just enough to lightly coat a spoon.

Pour and garnish

Pour the hot salep into a mug and finish with a light sprinkle of ground cinnamon over the top. Serve right away while it is still hot and creamy.
