Instructions
Rinse the betel leaves well in water. Drain all of the water.
First soak sabja seeds (sweet basil seeds) in enough water for 20 to 30 minutes.
In a small blender, puree the betel leaves with 2 to 3 tablespoons water or as needed.
In a bowl or glass jar, mix the betel leaves puree and almond milk. Stir and combine well.
Now add the gulkand and stir well again. Make sure the gulkand is mixed evenly in the drink.
Drain all the water from the soaked sabja seeds using a fine strainer. Add the soaked sabja seeds in the jar.
Stir in the rose syrup or rooh afza. Mix thoroughly.
Add the chopped nuts or dry fruits.
Mix well and serve the Paan Shots drink in tall glasses.
You can also chill the drink and serve Paan Milkshake later.
Notes
Use betel leaves that are green, crisp and fresh.
Swap gulkand, with a rose preserve or compote. You could also opt to add sugar instead of gulkand.
Sabja seeds can be skipped if you do not have them.
Scale up the recipe easily to make for potlucks or small parties.
I have made the recipe with almond milk, but you can make it with your preferred plant based milk or add dairy milk.
