How to Make Sachlab

  1. In a medium saucepan, combine 4 cups of milk and 1 teaspoon of vanilla extract.
  2. While whisking constantly, gradually add ¼ cup cornstarch to the warm milk to prevent lumps. Continue whisking until smooth.
  3. Stir in ½ cup granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon of orange blossom water (mazaar).
  4. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the mixture thickens considerably. This will take about 5-7 minutes.
  5. The Sachlab should be very thick, like light yogurt. If it's too thick, add a tablespoon of water at a time until you reach the desired consistency.
  6. If needed, stir in a packet of Splenda or another sweetener to your liking.
  7. Pour the hot Sachlab into one large mug or two small mugs.
  8. Divide 1 tablespoon of chopped almonds, 1 tablespoon of chopped pistachios, 1 tablespoon of shredded coconut, 1 tablespoon of raisins, and a pinch of cinnamon between the mugs.
  9. Do not stir the mixture.
  10. Serve immediately and let each person stir their own drink before enjoying.
