Faloodeh

Faloodeh is made by pressing a cooked starch dough, usually from rice or corn starch, into very fine vermicelli. The noodles are dropped into a cold syrup of sugar and rose water, and the mixture is frozen and stirred until slushy, so the noodles become firm and slightly chewy among the ice crystals.

It is served in small bowls with fresh lime or lemon juice squeezed over the top, and sometimes with sour cherry syrup. The city of Shiraz is especially famous for it. Faloodeh is a cousin of the South Asian falooda drink, which shares the noodles but adds milk and other toppings.
