Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons Basil seeds (sabja seeds)
- 1 cup Water
- 50 grams Vermicelli noodles
- 2 cups Low sodium milk
- 4 tablespoons Rose syrup
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 4 Fresh strawberries, sliced
- 2 tablespoons Chopped almonds
Instructions
Start by soaking the basil seeds: Place 2 tablespoons of basil seeds in a bowl and add 1 cup of water. Allow them to soak for about 10 minutes until they swell and become gelatinous.
Boil water in a small pot and cook the vermicelli noodles for about 3-4 minutes or until soft. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop further cooking. Set aside.
In a saucepan, gently warm the low sodium milk without letting it boil. This will enhance the flavor and texture. Allow it to cool slightly.
In tall serving glasses, layer 2 tablespoons of rose syrup at the bottom of each glass.
Evenly divide the cooked vermicelli among the glasses over the rose syrup.
Add 2 tablespoons of soaked basil seeds on top of the vermicelli in each glass.
Pour the warmed milk into each glass until it reaches about three-quarters full.
Top each glass with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Garnish with fresh strawberry slices and sprinkle with chopped almonds.
Serve immediately with a long spoon and straw for a delightful experience.
