Serendipitously, in my quest to buy all the spices D-Mart carries I picked up some sabja, or basil seeds. Shama was here as I was putting away my purchases and asked about them. She showed me that when soaked in water, sabja turns into little gelatinous balls. Plans for supplies to be acquired and delicious drinks to be created upon her return Wednesday ensued. Then I remembered the Sharbat! So we combined both of these with milk and made a delightful little drink on the spot.

Just checking that your drink concoction is actually rose water and basil seeds? Hmmmm...
Ha ha. Syrup, not water, so it is sweet. It's more or less like bubble tea. I thought it was pretty good. I'll make you some when you visit!
Mmm Rooh Afza. It's good with whole milk, sugar and ice. I have some in my kitchen at all times. :)
