Instructions
Rinse the basil seeds: Place the basil seeds in a fine-mesh sieve or strainer and rinse them under running water to remove any impurities.2. Soak the basil seeds: In a glass or bowl, add the rinsed basil seeds and pour in 1 cup of water. Stir the seeds gently to ensure they are evenly distributed in the water. Let the seeds soak for about 10-15minutes. During this time, the seeds will absorb the water and form a gel-like coating around them.3. Customize the flavor (optional): If desired, you can add flavor to your basil seed drink. Squeeze the juice of half a lemon or add other fruits like orange, strawberry, or mango juice to the soaked basil seeds. This will give your drink a tangy or fruity taste.4. Sweeten the drink (optional): If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add a sweetener of your choice to the basil seed drink. Common options include sugar, honey, agave syrup, or any other natural sweetener. Adjust the sweetness according to your taste preferences.5. Mix well and serve: Once the basil seeds have soaked and you've added any desired flavors or sweeteners, give the mixture a good stir to combine all the ingredients. You can also add ice cubes to make it more refreshing. Pour the basil seed drink into glasses and serve immediately.Your Basil seeds drink is ready
