Falooda is a delicious milk based sweet drink that is very popular after a meal in Myanmar.
This drink has many elements to it, the first being a bread pudding. It also has rose syrup and milk as part of the mix along with some gelatin. Add in a few tablespoons of pearl tapioca, some sweet basil seeds and a scoop of ice cream and then you have falooda.
I loved this sweet dessert drink.
Not only is it delicious with all sorts of interesting textures, it is a pretty pink color too.
Enjoy!
