Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 50 grams Vermicelli noodles (thin)
- 2 tablespoons Basil seeds
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Rose syrup
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (chopped)
- 4 pieces Cherries (for garnish)
Instructions
Soak the basil seeds in 1 cup of water for about 30 minutes or until they swell and become gelatinous. Drain and set aside.
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions in boiling water until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to remove excess starch, and set aside.
In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk, adding the sugar and stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Divide the rose syrup evenly between four tall glasses, ensuring an attractive presentation on the inside of each glass.
Add the cooked vermicelli equally to each glass over the rose syrup layer.
Add the soaked basil seeds over the vermicelli in each glass.
Pour the cooled sweetened milk into each glass, filling them almost to the top.
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each glass.
Garnish each falooda with chopped pistachios and a cherry on top.
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon to enjoy the layers and textures.
