WHAT DOES SALOOP MEAN IN ENGLISH?

saloop

Saloop

Saloop was a hot drink which was popular in England in the 18th and 19th century. Initially, it was made from salep — a flour made from orchid roots which thickened the drink. 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. This refreshing beverage was sold in place of tea and coffee, which were much more expensive, and was served in a similar way with milk and sugar. Its popularity declined when it got about that it was a good remedy for venereal disease and so drinking it in public became shameful.
