Lychee & Rose White Tea Cooler

Lychee & Rose White Tea Cooler

Summer has arrived in all its sunny glory and if your family is anything like mine, everyone is looking for a refreshing drink to relieve the heat of the day.

This cooler is an absolute favorite with my grandchildren because they get a few lychees to munch on once they have finished the drink.

If you can get fresh lychees for this recipe, go for it! Otherwise you can buy canned lychees in light syrup from almost any grocery store. Just look in the Asian section.  I have always been able to find rose water at the health food store, but if yours doesn’t have it, an Indian store will certainly stock it.
