Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 4 tablespoons Rose syrup
- 2 tablespoons Basil seeds
- 1 cup Water
- 1 cup Vermicelli noodles (gluten-free if needed)
- 2 cups Almond milk (unsweetened)
- 1 cup Coconut milk
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 1 teaspoon Vanilla extract
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
- 2 tablespoons Chopped pistachios
- 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional garnish)
Instructions
Begin by soaking the basil seeds in the cup of water for about 10 minutes until they swell up and become gelatinous.
While the basil seeds are soaking, boil water in a pot and cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions. Once cooked, drain the noodles and rinse with cold water. Set aside.
In a medium bowl, mix together almond milk, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
Once the basil seeds are ready, start assembling the falooda. Take four tall serving glasses and add 1 tablespoon of rose syrup to the bottom of each glass.
Add a layer of the soaked basil seeds over the rose syrup in each glass.
Next, add a layer of the cooked vermicelli noodles.
Pour the prepared almond and coconut milk mixture into each glass, filling the glass to about three-quarters full.
Stir gently to combine all layers slightly without fully mixing them.
Garnish with chopped almonds, chopped pistachios, and an optional sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and nutrition.
Serve immediately with a straw and spoon, enjoy!
