🧂 Υλικά

- 300 g Granulated sugar
- 500 ml Water
- 3 tbsp Rose water
- for serving Fresh lime juice
- pinch Optional: Saffron threads

Prepare the sugar syrup: In a medium saucepan, combine the granulated sugar and water. Heat over medium heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer and cook for about 5 minutes, or until it thickens slightly into a light syrup. If using saffron, steep a pinch of saffron threads in 1 tablespoon of hot water for 5 minutes, then add this saffron water to the syrup. Stir in the rose water. Remove from heat and let the syrup cool completely.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Cook the noodles: Bring a large pot of water to a rolling boil. Add the rice starch noodles and cook according to package directions until al dente (tender but still firm to the bite). This usually takes about 5-7 minutes. Be careful not to overcook them, as they will become mushy. Drain the noodles thoroughly. Once slightly cooled, use kitchen shears to cut the noodles into shorter, manageable lengths (about 2-3 inches long).
⏱️ 10 minutes - 3
Combine and freeze: In a freezer-safe container, gently mix the cut noodles with the cooled sugar syrup. Ensure the noodles are well coated. Cover the container and place it in the freezer. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm. For best results, stir the mixture every hour during the first 2-3 hours of freezing to break up ice crystals and create a slushy texture.
⏱️ 4 hours - 4
Serve: To serve, scoop the frozen faloodeh into chilled bowls. Drizzle generously with fresh lime juice just before serving. The tartness of the lime cuts through the sweetness of the syrup, creating a delightful contrast.
