This is the tiny black seed of a plant of the Basil family. The seeds look like poppy seeds when dry, but when soaked in water, they develop a slippery and translucent coat. They are floated on cool, sweet drinks, for they are said to cool the body (a highly regarded attribute in hot countries), and although without flavor, they add an intriguing texture.
