Sweet basil seed lemonade

The small black seeds from the sweet basil plant (scientific name Ocimum basilicum) have a nice crunchy texture and are widely used in popular sweet Asian drinks such as falooda, sherbet and milkshakes. You can add the soaked seeds to any fruit juice or drink of your choice, including sweet or savoury lassis.

You can also flavour this lovely lemonade with mint leaves, or the rosewater syrup from the Falooda.
