HISTORY OF SALEP

• The Ancient Greeks and Romans used ground orchid bulbs to make drinks, which they called ‘satyrion’ and ‘priapiscus’.
  As the names indicate, they likewise considered it to be a powerful aphrodisiac. Of salep, Paracelsus wrote:
  “behold the Satyrion root, is it not formed like the male privy parts? No one can deny this.
  Accordingly, magic discovered it and revealed that it can restore a man’s virility and passion”.

  Salep was a popular beverage in the lands of the Ottoman Empire. Its consumption spread beyond there to England and Germany before the
  rise of coffee and tea. In England, the drink was known as Saloop and was popular in the 18th and 19th centuries. Initially, it was made from salep, mostly from Smyrna.
  Later, the roots and leaves of the North American sassafras tree were the key ingredient. This plant thickened the drink and also had a stimulating quality.
