Halloween Hack – Tiny Edible Gelatinous Eyeballs

Basil seeds. Boil a Tbsp in two cups of water for about a minute or so, drain, chill in cold water, drain again. I like them mixed with a touch of honey and sesame oil. Anyways, they’re virtually flavorless.

They look like eyeballs. Boo! I like them in cocktails, drizzled on desserts or salads, or mixed in a mild juice. Also known as  hạt é hay hột é là một loại hạt của cây húng quế hay cây rau é. Helps with the pooper. Merrily thus.

Sure! Here’s a Halloween-inspired recipe that uses basil seeds:

Spooky Spider Pudding

Ingredients:

• 1 cup basil seeds
• 2 cups water
• 2 cups milk
• 1/2 cup sugar
• 1/4 cup cocoa powder
• 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
• Gummy spiders for garnish

Instructions:

1. In a small saucepan, bring the water to a boil. Add the basil seeds and let them simmer for about a minute. Drain and rinse the seeds under cold water. Set aside.
2. In a separate saucepan, heat the milk over medium-high heat until hot (but not boiling).
3. In a mixing bowl, whisk together the sugar, cocoa powder, and vanilla extract. Gradually add the hot milk while whisking continuously until well combined.
4. Return the mixture to the saucepan and cook over medium heat, stirring constantly until it thickens to a pudding consistency.
5. Remove from heat and let it cool slightly. Then, fold in the cooked basil seeds.
6. Transfer the pudding to individual serving dishes and refrigerate for at least 2 hours or until set.
7. Before serving, garnish each pudding with a gummy spider on top for a spooky touch.
8. Enjoy your creepy and delicious Spooky Spider Pudding!

Note: Feel free to adjust the sweetness and texture according to your taste preferences. Happy Halloween!
