Wimbledon has a very special place in my heart. Since my childhood / teenage years I have been fan of Wimbledon. There was no satellite T.V. in those days so it was telecast on National Television. Watching the Men’s and Women’s final used to be a family affair. Steffi Graf, Andre Agassi, Martina Navratilova were the heroes of that time. That love for Wimbledon has grown over the years. I thoroughly enjoy watching the games of some great champions as well as some new talents who are champions in making.

Being a foodie, another key element of Wimbledon that always fascinated me was strawberries with cream. After coming to England, that was the first thing I tried as soon as Strawberry season started. Nowadays, Banana has become the favourite Wimbledon fruit but for me, Strawberries and cream has a strong association with Wimbledon as any other tennis fan.

Next in the summer drink series is a very delicious, colourful and healthy drink. It is rose milk with basil seeds. This wonderful drink is also a very essential ingredient for a scrumptious, elegant dessert called Falooda.  To celebrate Wimbledon season, I am serving this traditional Falooda plated in a Wimbledon theme.

This recipe also uses Rose milk and Khus jelly.
