Lychee Recipes
Summer means Mangoes, Lychees, Peaches, Cherries.
These are all my favourite fruit which can be had in all different ways like making juice of it, Mocktails, salads & some yummy desserts.
Summer has its own fresh fruits & vegetables which are to cool the body temperature. Eating Seasonal & Local as I have always insisted will give you all the benefits of this product.
Lychees have been a favourite with most of us & When I posted an Instastory asking which of the Following Lychee Recipes would you like.
1. Lychee Mocktail
2. Lychee Salad
3. Lychee with Cream
I got an amazing response for all three !!
