Instructions
  1. In a bowl, combine chia seeds along with coconut milk & water. (I've used thick coconut milk ½ cup, hence added ¼ cup water to thin it down).

  10. Remove the pan from the heat, let cool down.
  11. Into a tall glass, first, add 2 tbsp chia seeds.
  12. Top with 3 tbsp sweetened vermicelli.
  13. Pour 1 tbsp roof afza or rose syrup or maple syrup or honey.
