Pista Falooda ( with mint tea )

Frankly speaking I had never thought of making any thing other than tea with flavoured tea leaves. But when I saw the ingredients of this months magic mingle I was puzzled and at loss as to what type of dish can be made with that combination of tea leaves and pistachios . Then I came across Priyas dish and was really really impressed by the innovative dish .
Here in Mumbai it is very hot with temperatures as high at 40 degrees and so I had planned to make falooda at night . I suddenly had the idea of trying it with mint flavoured tea leaves and pistachios and the end result was unbelievably delicious........ . Make this delicious cooling and refreshing drink to enjoy it ....
