Salep drink is a traditional beverage made from the powdered tuber of the orchid plant, specifically the wild orchid species. This drink is popular in various regions, particularly in Turkey and the Middle East. It is known for its creamy texture and unique flavor, often enhanced with spices like cinnamon or nutmeg. To prepare salep, the powder is mixed with hot milk or water, creating a warm, comforting drink. Salep is not only enjoyed for its taste but is also believed to have health benefits, such as aiding digestion and providing warmth during cold weather.
