Ingredients:
1/4 cup Faluda sev (vermicelli)
2 cups chilled milk
2 tablespoons rose syrup (or rose water and sugar)
1 tablespoon basil seeds (sabja)
1-2 tablespoons sugar (optional)
Crushed ice
Chopped fruits (optional: mango, pomegranate, etc.)
Saffron strands (optional)

Soak the Basil Seeds (Sabja):
Start by soaking basil seeds in water for about 30 minutes. Once they expand, drain the water and set them aside.
Prepare the Faluda Sev:
Boil water in a pan and add the Faluda sev (vermicelli). Let it cook for about 5-7 minutes until the vermicelli is soft and transparent.
Drain the cooked vermicelli and rinse it with cold water to stop the cooking process. Set aside.
Prepare the Milk:
In a bowl, mix the chilled milk with rose syrup. Add sugar to taste, depending on how sweet you want it. Stir well to ensure it’s evenly sweetened. You can also add a few strands of saffron for extra flavor and color.
Assemble the Faluda:
In a tall glass or serving bowl, start by layering the soaked basil seeds at the bottom.
Add a layer of the cooked faluda sev over the basil seeds.
Pour the sweetened rose milk mixture over the layers.
Add Ice and Garnish:
Add a handful of crushed ice to chill the faluda further.
Garnish with chopped fruits, saffron strands, and chopped nuts like cashews and almonds for added crunch and flavor.
Serve:
Serve the Faluda immediately for a delicious, refreshing treat.
