6 tbsps. of Falooda Sev (broken into small pieces)

900 ml (1 1/2 pint) milk
-
4 tsps Sugar * Diabetics can leave out the sugar or replace with sugar substitute

4 tsps. rose water or rose syrup or 1 drop of rose essence

4 scoops of vanilla ice cream
Method

Boil the Sev in water for 3 minutes or till soft and drain

Soak the Tookmuria (subja seeds) in 1/4 pint milk
-
Mix remaining milk and sugar and pour into 4 tall glasses
-
Divide the seeds, milk and cooked Sev into 4 glasses layering each glass.
-
Pour the rose syrup on top which being heavier will drift down making a lovely swirled effect. Alternatively use Orange Syrup and Orange Falooda Sev
-
Chill in refrigerator

Before serving add a scoop of vanilla ice cream, Orange Pineapple Icecream

Serve with a saucer underneath for spills and a straw for drinking. I add a piece of fruit to complement like Pineapple chunks, Starwberries, Blueberries or even a rose petal.
