Instructions
- Fully cook the vermicelli according to package directions, rinse and chill promptly; never use raw dry noodles.
- Fully hydrate food-grade basil seeds according to package directions; avoid serving dry swollen seeds or untreated loose seeds.
- Whisk rose syrup and sugar into cold milk until incorporated.
- For this original pistachio adaptation, add 18 g ground pistachios to the prepared base and stir or blend until evenly dispersed; if it is a spice or chopped solid, hydrate, infuse or melt it in the warm phase, then strain if necessary.
- Divide noodles and hydrated seeds into two tall glasses, add ice, then pour flavored milk over; serve with spoons.
Tips
- Serve with a spoon or wide straw; pre-cooked gel, noodles or pearls require temperature control and thoughtful choking-risk labeling.
- Perishables must not sit at room temperature longer than 2 hours, or 1 hour above 90°F (32°C).
