Very creative! I'll have to try this with my chia seeds. They really do look like the frog eggs i'd see in ponds as a kid.

Good idea - but I think I'll hold off until my daughter is a bit older, though. (She'll be a week short of 2 on Halloween this year.)... I'll click favorite and hopefully remember next year.
I'd imagine passionfruit seeds would work too - they already look like yellowish-greenish alien eggs anyway - though the fruit tends to be kind of expensive... especially in autumn.

Thai is awesome! Chia or flax seeds might work too.

chia works too, yes but flax seeds not so much since they have a distinctive flavor IMO

1. Is it actually edible?
2. This is the most disgusting looking thing I've ever seen in a glass.
3. Good Job!

Oh yes!! Definitely :) The basil seeds is used for making delicious drinks and desserts in Asian countries. And yes hahahah the first time I ever served this for our annual Halloween party, kids thought they were real so they didn't wanna try it until they saw their mums and dads tried it :) It is not so scary anymore to these kids (as I always invite the same kiddies so they already know about this "frog eggs") hahaha.
Once bloomed, they are tender, a tad chewy (just a tad) and a tad crunchy (the black parts. It's almost like kiwi seeds in jelly.
