Instructions:
1. Prepare the Main Mixture:

2. Set and Mix Again:
- Let the mixture sit for 20 minutes to allow the Zen Basil seeds to swell and absorb the liquid.
- After 20 minutes, stir the mixture again to ensure even consistency.
3. Assemble and Top:
- Transfer the mixture to a serving container if desired.
- Top with the remaining yogurt, spreading it evenly over the surface.
