Sahlab or Sachlav: A Yummy Winter Beverage

Learn how to make Sahlab, Sachlav or Salep,  This interesting hybrid between a beverage and soft pudding/custard, is a middle eastern treat typically prepared in Israel as a winter favorite (I tried this on April this year so you may also find it in certain cafes all year round). This cold weather calls for a hot beverage and this one couldn’t be easier.

The concussion of coconut and rosewater flavors present in this beverage makes it so comforting. I have made this recipe before (did I tell you I am a fan of coconut in every form?) with just vanilla extract because i didn’t have the rosewater and it was good, but the rosewater gives it a much better kick and deeper aroma. Talking about aroma, the aroma is so heavenly, so do your best to find the rosewater is not like anything you have tasted before. You won’t be disappointed. Still, if you can’t, don’t worry and use vanilla extract this time. It will be good anyways (this with vanilla flavor reminds me of the coquito without the rum, a puertorican hot beverage typically served for winter)

 

To make Sahlab you just need a handful of ingredients and you will be enjoying this yummy beverage for your breakfast or dinner in no time.



As you can see Sahlab is so easy to do. Have you tried yet? In case you haven’t, we hope you give it a try soon! When you make Sahlab don’t forget to share your pics and tag us as #sisterblissdiary on instagram! Also, you can show us some Pinterest love…
Until next time!

3 Full Menus Ideas for your Shabuoth Table {Classic, Budget-friendly and Veggie-lover}

3 Full Shabuoth Menus
Shabuoth is a very special and meaningful day for us because it marks the day when Israel received the Torah! All the holidays of which we participate throughout the year remind us of two important events our ancestors witnessed: The Exodus of Egypt and the Giving of the Torah. Both events constitute the foundation of our existence as the Nation of Israel. That is why Shabuoth is so important. 
 
It is not only a holiday in which our dairy dreams come true (and we love that one!) but, it is a day when we remember what the Torah demands from us (in case we have forgotten that) and we align ourselves with that. For this day it is customary to eat dairy products and we love cheese so, we also love Shabuoth! (haha!). We recently shared 5 Menu Ideas for Passover, and so I thought it was a good idea to share also 3 Full Menu ideas for your Shabuoth table as well. Here you’ll find one classic menu, one budget-friendly menu and one for the veggie lovers. In each of these menus you’ll find 5 entrees, 5 main dishes, 5 sides dishes and 5 sweet treats. Did we mention we love Shabuoth because all our dairy dreams come true? lol. Ok, Great! Let’s go to the menus:

Shabuoth Menu #1: The Classic

Shabuoth Menu #2: The Budget-friendly
