cheers to mothers with faluda!

It was a lovely Sunday celebrating the important women in our lives - our mothers.   Lunch consisted of fried kabobs (thanks to my sister-in-law) and nihari, a beef shank curry.  The best way to top off this delicious meal had to be with one of my favorite drinks/desserts - faluda.  Faluda is a mixture of rose syrup and milk accented with ice cream and vermicelli.  This cool, creamy drink is the perfect way to toast all the amazing mothers out there - Happy Mother's Day!



Faluda (10 Servings)

1.5 litres whole milk
2 cans evaporated milk
1/2 cup vanilla ice cream + more for serving
5 TB rose syrup
vermicelli or rice sticks
red food coloring

Cook the vermicelli in boiling water for five minutes.  Drain and rinse with cold water.  Add a few drops of red food coloring until the vermicelli are pink.

Combine milks, ice cream and rose syrup and chill until ready to serve.

In a tall cup, add a spoonful of noodles, a couple scoops of ice cream and top with the milk mixture.  Serve with a straw and tall spoon.

Vermicelli in a drink? I don't know how I feel about that. But Happy Mother's Day!
