For a Serving Size of Two:

Ingredients:

• 1 tablespoon chia seeds
• 300 ml almond milk (or any plant-based milk of your choice)
• 30 grams agar-agar powder

Procedure:

• Soak the chia seeds in 150 ml of almond milk for at least 30 minutes or until they have absorbed the liquid and become gelatinous.

• Cook the vermicelli according to the package instructions. Drain and set aside.
• In serving glasses or bowls, layer the soaked chia seeds, cooked vermicelli, and mixed fruit.
• Pour the remaining almond milk into each glass, filling it up to about 3/4 full.
• Drizzle the agar-agar mixture over the top, allowing it to set slightly.
• Sprinkle chopped nuts on top. If using rose water and lemon juice, add them according to your taste preferences.
• Chill the falooda in the refrigerator for at least 1 hour before serving.
