Lychee Love !! 3 Delicious Recipes
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 !!
