Authentic Falooda

In a small bowl, combine basil seeds with 150g cold water and let them soak for 15-20 minutes until they swell and become gelatinous.

In a saucepan, bring 500g water to a rolling boil. Add thin vermicelli and cook for 2-3 minutes until tender. Drain the cooked thin vermicelli immediately and rinse under cold water to prevent sticking. Set aside.

In a separate saucepan, heat Milk over medium heat. Add Sugar and stir until the Sugar dissolves completely. Bring the Milk to a gentle simmer, then remove from heat and let it cool. Once cooled, chill the sweetened Milk thoroughly in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour.
