Method:
- Pick up and remove any husks or stones from the sabja seeds if any.Then take sabja seeds in a wide bowl. Add water.Soon it will start absorbing and growing in size.While pouring the water itself it starts to grow.After pouring water , let it aside for 10mins.I soaked more quantity than the above mentioned amount.
- Can you see?! it is growing in size, the seeds will all become transparent jelly like coating will be formed.
- Add sugar to water.Squeeze lemon juice.Mix well.Now our lemonade is ready.Add salt.
- In a serving glass add soaked basil seeds then pour lemonade. Top it up with more basil seeds.
- Serve Chilled with ice cubes!
My Notes
- Adding salt is optional
- Adjust sugar quantity as per your liking.
- The sabja seeds tend to settle down at the bottom so serve it with a spoon instead of a straw.
- Sabja seeds by itself has a cooling nature so I didnt add chill water, but if you prefer you can add cold water.
