Ingredients

4 cups whole milk
1/2 teaspoon ground mastic
1 tablespoon Turkish salep
6 tablespoons sugar
ground cinnamon for garnish

Steps

Pour the milk in a saucepan and place over a medium heat.
As the milk warms up, remove a little and mix it with the mastic.
Bring the rest of the milk to the boil then add the salep little by little, in very small amounts so that it does not form lumps.
Keep stirring over the heat for about 5 minutes, before adding the sugar and stirring for another 3 minutes. Stir in the mastic milk and ladle into soup bowls. Sprinkle with the cinnamon and serve hot.
