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)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the basil seeds in the cup of water for about 10 minutes until they swell up and become gelatinous.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

In a medium bowl, mix together almond milk, coconut milk, sugar, and vanilla extract. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.

Step 4

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.

Step 5

Add a layer of the soaked basil seeds over the rose syrup in each glass.

Step 6

Next, add a layer of the cooked vermicelli noodles.

Step 7

Pour the prepared almond and coconut milk mixture into each glass, filling the glass to about three-quarters full.

Step 8

Stir gently to combine all layers slightly without fully mixing them.

Step 9

Garnish with chopped almonds, chopped pistachios, and an optional sprinkle of chia seeds for added texture and nutrition.

Step 10

Serve immediately with a straw and spoon, enjoy!
