Begin by soaking the basil seeds in 1/2 cup of water for 15 minutes until they swell, then drain and set aside.
In a small bowl, combine chia seeds with 1/2 cup of almond milk, stir well, and let them soak for 15 minutes until they form a gel-like consistency.
Cook the rice vermicelli as per the package instructions. Drain the water and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
In a blender, combine the remaining almond milk, rose water, liquid stevia, and vanilla extract. Blend until well mixed.
In serving glasses, layer the ingredients starting with a spoonful of the swollen basil seeds and chia seeds at the bottom.
Add a layer of cooked rice vermicelli followed by a few slices of strawberries, a sprinkle of chopped almonds, pistachios, and dates.
Pour the rose-flavored almond milk mixture over the layered ingredients.
Add ice cubes to the glasses, garnish with remaining nuts and strawberry slices as desired.
Serve immediately or chill for an additional 10 minutes for a more refreshing taste.
