- ½ to 1 cup Sago sabudana or tapioca pearls
- 1 packet Jelly powder
- 4 cups Milk, boiled and chilled 1 litre
- ½ cup Rose syrup Rooh afza
Preparation
For best results, set the jelly according to the package instructions and cut it into small bite-size cubes. Do not add too much water while making jelly; it will not set.
1 packet Jelly powder
Bring water to a boil and add the tapioca pearls (sago). Cook until it becomes soft and translucent for 20 to 25 minutes.
½ to 1 cup Sago
Pass this through the strainer and pour cold water to stop cooking and remove any excess starch. Keep this cooked sabudana aside.
Sabudana rose milk
In a bowl, add boiled and chilled milk and rose syrup and mix until combined.
4 cups Milk, boiled and chilled, ½ cup Rose syrup
Now add the cooked sabudana and jelly cubes and mix.
Serve chilled for best results and enjoy. You can also garnish it with almonds and pistachios.
- The sweetness of the rooh afza (rose syrup) was sufficient, and I did not add any sugar. For a plain sago drink, skip rose syrup and add sweeteners like sugar, honey, condensed milk or stevia.
- To make this drink vegan, use any non-dairy milk like coconut or almond.
- If you add vermicelli instead of sabudana, this becomes a falooda.
- Any leftovers can be stored in the refrigerator for 1-2 days.
- For a mango sago drink, skip rose syrup and add mango puree and sugar, and for a strawberry sago drink, add the strawberry puree and sugar to taste.
- For mild flavored drinks, reduce the amount of rose syrup and add sugar to taste.
- You can even reduce or increase the amount of sabudana (sago) as you prefer.
