Ingredients

• 50 grams Vermicelli noodles (gluten-free if necessary)
• 2 tablespoons Basil seeds
• 500 milliliters Non-dairy milk (such as almond, soy, or coconut)
• 4 tablespoons Rose syrup
• 4 scoops Vegan vanilla ice cream
• 100 grams Fresh fruit (such as mango, pomegranate, or berries)
• 2 tablespoons Crushed almonds (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Chia seeds (optional for extra texture)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by soaking the basil seeds in 1/2 cup of water for about 15 minutes, until they swell and become gelatinous.

Step 2

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.

Step 3

Chill the non-dairy milk in the refrigerator for about 10 minutes while you prepare the remaining ingredients.

Step 4

To assemble the Falooda, divide the cooked vermicelli equally into two tall glasses.

Step 5

Add 2 tablespoons of rose syrup into each glass over the vermicelli.

Step 6

Layer the soaked basil seeds evenly over the vermicelli and rose syrup in both glasses.

Step 7

Pour in the chilled non-dairy milk, dividing it equally between the two glasses.

Step 8

Add two scoops of vegan vanilla ice cream to each glass.

Step 9

Top with fresh fruit of your choice and, if desired, sprinkle with crushed almonds and a few chia seeds for extra texture.

Step 10

Serve immediately with long spoons and straws for a refreshing, indulgent vegan treat.
