Falooda is a popular dessert in South Asian countries and is enjoyed by all age groups. It is a sweet treat made with milk, rose syrup, basil seeds, and ice cream. The drink boasts a unique and refreshing taste, and its texture is eye-catching. The basil seeds used in the recipe are very similar to chia seeds. These seeds swell when soaked and become jelly-like in texture. Falooda is perfect for a hot day when you want to indulge in something sweet and satisfying. It's a great way to cool off and beat the heat.

Instructions

1.	In a small bowl, mix cornflour and water until smooth and keep it aside.
2.	Heat the milk and sugar in a heavy-bottomed pan over medium heat, stirring occasionally until sugar dissolves.
3.	Once the milk comes to a boil, reduce heat to low and stir in the cornflour mixture.
4.	Cook on low heat for about 2-3 minutes until the mixture thickens. Remove from heat and refrigerate until cold.
5.	Once cooled, mix in the rose syrup and basil seeds to the milk mixture.
6.	Take a tall glass and spoon half of the basil seed mixture into the glass.
7.	Add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, and spoon on the remaining basil seed mixture over it.
8.	Top off the glass with ice water and mix gently.
9.	Serve cold and enjoy!
