Egyptian Sahlab or Sahlep

Egyptian Sahlab or Sahlep was pinched from <a href="http://www.food.com/recipe/egyptian-sahlab-or-sahlep-478633" target="_blank">www.food.com.</a>

"The website which I got this from says this is a popular winter beverage in Egypt. Usually it's made from the starchy bulbs of a plant called orchis mascula. For those who don't get original sahlep powder, this is a recipe with cornstarch as a substitute. Feel free to use the original thing, though :)..."
