Refreshing Falooda Drink

Falooda, is a milk based popular dessert in India. Falooda not only refreshes the eyes but also tantalize the taste buds. Basil seeds make this drink more healthier. Thinking of making it then what are you waiting for? Hmmm for the recipe right. Here comes the much famous and popular falooda recipe.

INGREDIENTS:

• 2 tbsp Falooda seeds (sabza/ tukmaria/ basil seeds)
• 2 tbsp Rose syrup
• 3/4 cup chilled Milk
• 2 tbsp Falooda sev, arrowroot vermicelli
• 2 tbsp Strawberry-flavored jello, crushed coarsely
• 1 tbsp Almonds, roasted and chopped
• a scoop of strawberry ice cream

PREPERATION:

• In a bowl take falooda seeds and add enough water to just cover them completely.
• Refrigerate these for at least an hour so that they swell.
• In a pot, boil water and to this add the vermicelli after breaking it into small pieces.
• Cook until done. Cool and refrigerate until chilled.
• Take a tall, broad mouth glass. To this first add the rose syrup, then add the falooda seeds and then the vermicelli.
• Pour the chilled milk gradually so that the layers are not disturbed.
• Top it with a scoop of strawberry ice cream, jello and almonds.
• Serve immediately and give it a gentle stir before you start relishing it, so that all ingredients blend well.
• Last but not least add your 'love' to make the dish 'YUMMY'.

Note : For preparing saffron/kesar falooda replace the rose syrup, strawberry-flavored jello and strawberry ice cream with kesar syrup, pineapple-flavored jello and kesar pista ice cream respectively.

We need friends for many reasons,all throughout the season.

We need friends to comfort uswhen we are sad,and to have fun with us when we are glad.

We need friends to give us good advice,

We need someone we can count on,and treat us nice.

We need friends to remember us once we have passed ;sharing memories that will always last.
