Sahlab mix
Energy: ~350–380 kcal / 100 g dry mix (typical) (planning figure — the product label is the final reference)
Shelf life: Sealed dry: often 12–24 months per label. Keep sealed after opening; clumps mean moisture.
Storage: Dry store, airtight, away from humidity and strong odours.
- The winter sahlab cup — cinnamon on top, nuts and coconut optional
- Thickens hot milk to a custard-like body
- A natural partner to the hot-chocolate station in the cold months
Whisk the powder into COLD milk first, then heat gently while stirring until it thickens — hit hot milk directly and it clumps instantly with no way back.
A starchy, sugary dessert-drink by design — count it as dessert. Toppings are the allergen touchpoint: pistachio and coconut mean tree nuts, and some mixes contain milk powder — the label is final.
