Some Handful Tips:

• Soak the sweet basil seeds (also known as Sabja seeds) for about 10 minutes, or until they plump up and turn jelly-like in texture. This helps them release their gel-like coating, enhancing the texture of the drink.

• Experiment with additional toppings such as rose petals or dried fruits like raisins or chopped dates to add a hint of sweetness and variety to your falooda.

• If you prefer a vegan version, you can substitute cow’s milk with almond milk, coconut milk, or any other dairy-free alternatives.

Remember, cooking is all about exploration and personalization. So, feel free to adjust the recipe according to your taste preferences.
