Begin by soaking the basil seeds in 1/2 cup of water for about 15 minutes, until they swell and become gelatinous.
Meanwhile, bring a small pot of water to a boil. Add the vermicelli noodles and cook according to the package instructions, usually about 3-5 minutes, until they are soft. Drain and rinse with cold water to stop the cooking process.
Chill the non-dairy milk in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.
To assemble the Falooda, divide the cooked vermicelli equally into two tall glasses.
Add 2 tablespoons of rose syrup into each glass over the vermicelli.
Layer the soaked basil seeds evenly over the vermicelli and rose syrup in both glasses.
Pour in the chilled non-dairy milk, dividing it equally between the two glasses.
Add two scoops of vegan vanilla ice cream to each glass.
Top with fresh fruit of your choice and, if desired, sprinkle with crushed almonds and a few chia seeds for extra texture.
Serve immediately with long spoons and straws for a refreshing, indulgent vegan treat.
