Sahlab (a Middle Eastern ... drink, I guess, if only because "roofing material" seems so unfair) does not cure any ills. It does not resurrect Jesus, it performs no miracles, it will not make your life better.
Instead, it sits in your cup, the bastard lovechild of milk and Stuff (tm), with a touch of "mushroom soup flavour" thrown in because apparently I can't boil milk without burning it. It's a lot like what would happen if you took drinking yogurt, heated it up, locked it in a room, exploded a Turkish Delight in there, then drank the result. It keeps being OMG SURPRISINGLY SWEET ARGH DIABETES one moment and MUSHROOM SOUP THAT I SMELL the next.
Also, it forms an impenetrable shield on your lip when you try to drink it.
In other news, my day is not off to the greatest of starts. THESE FACTS ARE RELATED.
