Most of last week was spent on making different types of Popsicle recipes. The kids wanted or rather preferred the home made pops instead of the store bought ones. The idea came from this recipe that Sharmi had posted a while back.The recipe is pretty simple but the result is so good!
Basil seeds are also called Subja seeds, sabja seeds, Takmaria seeds,thukamaria seeds etc and is one of the important ingredient of the famous Falooda.
Basil seeds are black in color, resembling black sesame seeds, only a little smaller.When soaked in water they ‘bloom’ and attain a jelly like structure and has a light crunch to it.They have no flavor of their own.
These seeds are said to aid weight loss, overcome skin infections and relieve stress. It is also a body coolant and hence added to a variety of beverages and consumed in summer.

How to make Sabja [Basil Seed] Rosemilk Popsicle
I used:
Basil Seeds- 1 tablespoon
Chilled Milk-300ml
Rose milk essence – as needed
Sugar- to taste
Soak the basil seeds in half cup of water and set aside. After a few minutes, the seeds will start to ‘bloom’ and will have a fuzzy layer around the seed. Let it sit for 15 minutes. Strain and keep aside.
Take the milk in a bowl and add sugar. Stir to dissolve. Add the rose milk essence and mix well.
Fill the popsicle mould up to its 3/4 level with the rose milk. Spoon in a little of the basil seeds.Cover and freeze till set. Show the moulds under running water to demould and serve.
Enjoy these tasty and cooling Popsicle…

I will be back tomorrow with yet another bookmarked recipe..
Excellent summer friendly popsicles and the addition of basil seeds sounds very interesting.
Basil seeds might not have a flavour yet I like them and use extensively in summers. These popsicles are a perfect way to enjoy them.
I remember making a similar popsicle once with chia seeds. This is perfect for this scorching summer..
I love rose faloodas. This sounds like a falooda in a popsicle. Great summer treat!!
This popsicle reminds me of falooda. Falooda popsicle!! love the combo. I have never added sabja seeds to my popsicles. I am sure it would have been a nice textural element.
we dont get rose milk essence here – only rose water but I do have some rose paste I had gotten from Southeast Asian market – Thai/Vietnamese I suppose I could try with that
Lovely popsicle recipe PJ. Adding sabja seeds is a great idea — perfect chilled treat for summer.
Mmm what a perfect treat for summer. Adding saja seeds is a great idea.

I like the flavour of sabza seeds.. combined with rose milk they must have tastes super delicious.

I love rose falooda. Perfect treat for this scorching summer. Yumm popsicles
Popsicle looks so yummy and flavourful. Love the flavour of rose essence. These are looking beautiful too. Perfect for this hot weather.
I love Rose Milk and during summers, with the basil seeds, its a blessing to kill the heat. Love the idea of the pops, I would certainly finish 3-4 easily in one go.
I usually have this as a milkshake but I think the popsicle would be far more handy and convenient, I can make it in advance and take one out when I need it.
Just looking at the recipe I’m transported to my childhood. How I loved to drink chilled rose milk on summer afternoons! To make popsicles out of it – simply brilliant!
Perfect to enjoy this summer! I have always loved rose milk; frozen sounds more tempting! Fabulous!
Perfect summer recipe.. the colour itself so inviting ! Yummy !
