Rose and Basil Seed Popsicles
Sweet, floral and refreshing rose popsicles made with soaked basil seeds, fresh mint and a pinch of kala namak. These easy water-based ice lollies are naturally dairy-free and have a soft, distinctive texture.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 200 ml Rose syrup
- 1 tablespoon Basil seeds
- 100 ml Water
- ¼ teaspoon Kala namak
- Mint leaves
Instructions
- Add the basil seeds to a small bowl and pour over the water. Stir well, then leave to bloom for 10–15 minutes, until the seeds develop a gel-like coating.
- Pour the rose syrup into a jug. Add the kala namak and tear in the mint leaves.
- Add the bloomed basil seeds and their soaking water. Stir thoroughly to distribute the seeds evenly.
- Place the lolly mould on a tray so it remains level. Pour the mixture evenly between the moulds, leaving a little space at the top.
- Insert the lolly sticks and freeze for at least 6 hours, preferably overnight, until completely firm.
- To release the popsicles, briefly run the outside of the mould under lukewarm water. Serve immediately, with a very light dusting of kala namak if desired.
