Ingredients
- 50 grams Vermicelli noodles (thin)
- 2 tablespoons Basil seeds
- 500 milliliters Whole milk
- 4 tablespoons Rose syrup
- 4 scoops Vanilla ice cream
- 2 tablespoons Sugar
- 2 tablespoons Pistachios (chopped)

Directions
Step 1
Soak the basil seeds in 1 cup of water for about 30 minutes or until they swell and become gelatinous. Drain and set aside.
Step 2
Cook the vermicelli noodles according to package instructions in boiling water until soft, about 5-7 minutes. Drain and rinse with cold water to remove excess starch, and set aside.

In a small saucepan over medium heat, warm the milk, adding the sugar and stirring until dissolved. Remove from heat and let it cool completely.
Step 4
Divide the rose syrup evenly between four tall glasses, ensuring an attractive presentation on the inside of each glass.
Step 5
Add the cooked vermicelli equally to each glass over the rose syrup layer.
Step 6
Add the soaked basil seeds over the vermicelli in each glass.
Step 7
Pour the cooled sweetened milk into each glass, filling them almost to the top.
Step 8
Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream to each glass.
Step 9
Garnish each falooda with chopped pistachios and a cherry on top.
Step 10
Serve immediately with a straw and a long spoon to enjoy the layers and textures.
