In a bowl or mason jar, stir together basil seeds, milk and maple syrup. If you’re using a mason jar, you can put the lid on and shake the mixture to combine everything.
Once the mixture is well combined, let it sit for 5 minutes, give it another stir/shake to break up any clumps of basil seeds, cover and put the mixture in the fridge to “set" for 10-15 minutes or a few hours.
Serve with desired toppings!
Notes
Brand matters: I've tested a few brands and Zen Basil Seeds is by far the best. It gels quickly and consistently. Some other brands don’t absorb the liquid as well, so results may vary.
How to store: Store in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4–5 days. If it thickens too much, just stir in a little extra milk before serving.
