Warm Milk Drink

Sahlab
سحلب

Serve it hot or warm with a plain croissant.

Sahlab is a delicious, warm winter drink that is sprinkled with cinnamon and served with a plain croissant. I used to have it long ago at our family business in Tripoli, Cafe Cappuccino; now, I serve it at home for breakfast because my daughter loves it.

Procedure

  1. Pour 1/2 cup milk in the saucepan, add cornstarch and sugar and stir well to dissolve. Add remaining milk, place over medium-high heat and bring to boil while stirring.
  2. Reduce heat to medium and continue to stir for several more minutes, then turn off heat and pour the mixture into 2 cups. Sprinkle the top with cinnamon and serve.

Serve it hot or warm with a plain croissant.
