Begin by soaking the sweet basil seeds in water.

In two tall glasses, assemble the drink by layering 2 tablespoons of soaked sweet basil seeds, 2 tablespoons of cooked noodles, and 2 tablespoons of rose syrup.
Pour 2/3 cup of milk into each glass. Place a scoop of vanilla ice cream on top. Garnish with thinly sliced nuts and rose petals. Stir gently and add more rose syrup if desired. Serve immediately.
Soak Basil Seeds: Soak 1 tablespoon of sweet basil seeds in ½ cup of water for about 30 minutes until they swell and form a gelatinous texture.
Cook Falooda Sev: Boil 3 cups of water, add ½ cup of falooda sev, and cook according to package instructions. Drain, rinse with cold water, and set aside.
Layer Ingredients: In tall glasses, layer 2 tablespoons each of soaked basil seeds, cooked falooda sev, and 2 tablespoons of rose syrup.
Add Milk and Ice Cream: Pour 2/3 cup of chilled milk into each glass and top with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.
Garnish Options: Optional garnishes include sliced pistachios, chopped almonds, or edible rose petals for added flavor and presentation.
