  • About

Salep flour is milled from the dried tubers of a wild orchid species found in the Anatolian plateau. It’s often used in both a popular milk and spice beverage of the same name and also a light ice cream. Salep can be quite hard to find and rather expensive, but you could substitute it with cornflour/cornstarch or even some ground mastic gum.
