 * See, which has been borrowed into a lot of languages, including Hebrew and English (salep). The tubers of certain European and Asian orchids apparently look like testicles (which is where the term orchid comes from) and have been used for centuries for starch, as in the drink you're referring to. I don't have much information on modern Hebrew, but I have a hunch that this is more the Hebrew manifestation of the general Middle Eastern cultural item than something specific to Hebrew.
