Ingredients

Servings

Instructions

  1. Put the basil seeds in a bowl or jug and cover with the water. Leave for at least 20-30 minutes, or a little longer to soak and expand.
  2. Cook the noodles according to packet instructions, drain and set aside.
  3. Drain the basil seeds then divide them between two glasses (you should have around 2 1/2 tbsp in each). Top with the cooked noodles then a tbsp of rose syrup in each.
  4. Top each of the glasses with milk and serve.

Notes

  • Some versions add some cubes of jello (rose, strawberry or raspberry flavor) after the basil seeds. You can also top the glasses with a scoop of vanilla ice cream. If you do, it works to decorate the top with some chopped dried fruit and nuts to serve. 
  • The rose syrup is typically colored - if it is not, then add a little food coloring to the syrup or milk.
