- Pour the lychee and rosewater shake into glasses.
- Optionally, garnish with a few rose petals or lychee slices on top.

TIPS
- Use fresh, ripe lychee for the best flavor. If fresh lychee is not available, you can use canned lychee, but be sure to drain them before using.
- Adjust the sweetness according to your preference by adding or reducing the amount of honey or maple syrup.
- Rosewater can vary in strength, so start with a small amount and add more if desired.
- If you don’t have almond milk, you can substitute it with any other plant-based milk like coconut milk, soy milk, or oat milk.
- For added texture and nutrition, you can sprinkle some crushed pistachios or chia seeds on top of the shake.
- If you want a more pronounced rose flavor, you can steep dried rose petals in hot water, let it cool, and use it as a base instead of almond milk.
- Experiment with different variations by adding a squeeze of lime juice or a handful of fresh mint leaves for a refreshing twist.
- Serve the shake immediately after blending to enjoy its vibrant flavors and creamy texture.
- Remember to adjust the ingredients and quantities based on your individual preferences and dietary needs.
