Instructions

6 steps

1
Soak the basil seeds in 1/2 cup water for 15 minutes until they swell and turn gelatinous, then drain off any excess water.

2
Boil the falooda sev in plenty of water for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and translucent, then drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking.
3
If using sugar, stir it into the chilled milk until dissolved.
4
In two tall serving glasses, spoon 1 tbsp rose syrup into the bottom of each, then layer in the soaked basil seeds and the cooked falooda sev.
5
Pour the chilled milk slowly over the layers, then drizzle the remaining rose syrup down the sides for a marbled look.
6
Top each glass with a scoop of vanilla ice cream, sprinkle with chopped pistachios and almonds, and serve immediately with a long spoon and straw.
