Sahleb is a hot milk-based drink that is popular in Cairo. It is made from a mixture of milk, sugar, and a starchy powder derived from the tubers of the orchid plant. The drink is flavored with ingredients like rosewater, cinnamon, and nuts. Sahleb has a thick and creamy consistency, similar to a pudding. It is often enjoyed during the winter months as a warming and comforting beverage.
