Instructions

Combine Ingredients: In a 500ml mason jar, mix together the milk, rose syrup, and ground cardamom gently to blend the floral and warming flavors uniformly.
Adjust Sweetness: Taste the mixture and add a splash of maple syrup if you prefer a sweeter pudding.
Add Chia Seeds: Add the chia seeds to the jar, then close the lid tightly and shake energetically for 30 to 60 seconds to ensure even distribution and prevent clumping.
Refrigerate: Place the jar in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes to allow the chia seeds to absorb the liquid and form a pudding texture; for a thicker consistency, refrigerate overnight.
Serve: Serve the chilled pudding topped with a dollop of Greek or vegan yogurt, a sprinkle of chopped pistachios, and delicate rose petals for an elegant and floral presentation.

Notes

For richer flavor, use canned coconut milk instead of regular milk.
Rose syrup brands vary in sweetness and intensity; adjust the quantity accordingly.
Soaking chia seeds overnight will create a thicker pudding texture.
Maple syrup is optional and can be substituted with other sweeteners like agave or honey (omit for vegan versions).
Ensure rose petals are edible and pesticide-free for safe consumption.
This recipe serves 2 but can be easily multiplied for larger servings.
