In a large jar, combine 3 tbsp sweet basil seeds and 4 cups (1 L) of filtered water and stir well. Stir every 30 min to make sure all the seeds get hydrated. This should take about 2 hours to fully hydrate. Store in fridge.

In a pint-sized jar, combine 4 malva nuts and 2 cups water. Let hydrate for at least 2-3 hours, best results is to allow to hydrate overnight in the fridge. Store in the fridge.

In a small pot, combine 1/2 cup of rock sugar crystals (roughly) and 1 cup of water. Cook over medium heat until the rock sugar has dissolved. Let cool and transfer to a jar to star in the fridge.
