Sahlab mix
Energy: ~350–380 kcal / 100 g dry mix (typical) (planning figure - the product label is the final reference)
How this figure was derived
- Read from
- ~350–380 kcal / 100 g dry mix (typical)
- Energy density
- 350–380 kcal / 100 g
- Basis
- Per 100 g — a weight. Applying it to a volume would be wrong.
- Example, at 30 g
- 350–380 kcal / 100 g × 30 g ÷ 100 = ≈ 105–114 kcal
A planning figure, not a laboratory analysis. It is here so a recipe can be reasoned about, not so it can be declared on a menu.
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.
