I take the following from Klimyk and Schmudgen's book Quantum Groups Page 167:
Proposition For g a complex semi-simple Lie algebra, there is an isomorphism ϕ of the h-adic algebra Uh(g) onto U(g)[[h]] which coincides with the identity map modulo h.
Explicitly, for Uh(sl2), the h-adic algebra generated by the elements H,E, and F, such that [H,E]=2E, [H,F]=−2F, [E,F]=(ehH−e−hH)/(eh−e−h).
The isomorphism
ϕ of the algebras is uniquely determined by its action on the generating elements and is given by
ϕ(H)=H′ ϕ(F)=F′, ϕ(E)=2(coshh(H′−1)−cosh2h√C′|H′−1|2−4C′sinh2h),
where
H′,E′,F′ are the generators of
U(sl2) satisfying the relations
[H′,E′]=2E′,
[H′,F′]=−2F′,
[E′,F′]=H′, and
C′=14(H′−1)2+E′F′ is the Casimir element of
Uh(sl2).
I would like to ask if anyone knows of an explicit description of this isomorphism for the case of sl3? The reference for the proof of the proposition is Drinfeld's 1986 ICM talk, or Shnider and Sternberg Quantum Groups Chapter 11.
