While walking through an Asian grocery store, I found this basil seed drink. When I first saw it, I scrunched up my nose really tight, and asked to myself "What on earth is this?"
It looked really scary to me at first...like a drink full of little, creepy bugs. I examined it in amazement for a long while, and then walked away. I thought that was the end of it, but when I got home, I kept thinking to myself that I should have bought it to at least try it. A few days later, I was still thinking the same thing, so in the end, my curiosity got the best of me and I tried it.
The drink was surprisingly good. It had a really nice fragrant to it..much like the basil herb it comes from. It tasted almost as if it had rose water in it. I read the ingredients, and it only contains basil seed, water, sugar, salt, and honey flavor. The texture of the seeds was nothing like I imagined. It was a jelly, pulpy texture, which made it fun to drink.

I just finished the first glass of basil drink I've ever had. Delicious stuff :] Even if it looks...well, unappetizing to say the least.
I used to drink it regularly. I brought it to work a few times and put it in a clear glass. Then I told my coworkers it was fresh frog eggs - plenty of protein. Scared them silly. Lots of fun.
Stefan,
Ha, thanks for sharing that story. Love it...made me laugh!
I'm sitting here smiling because the seed ARE fun to eat. They're like little bitsof floating jello! I got Foco brand on a try-something-new whim. It's tastes like banana cream soda with little goodies. Kids would love this! Stefan, I'm so gonna do that too! LOL
