Gluten-Free Notes for Gluten-Free Lychee Rose Juice: This recipe is naturally free from gluten-containing grains. It's important to confirm that any flavored liquids or extracts used are certified gluten-free.
Ingredients
- 1 cup lychees, fresh or canned (drained)
- 1 cup liquid (almond milk, coconut milk, or water)
- 0.5 tsp rose water (food grade)
- 1 tbsp honey or maple syrup (optional, to taste)
- 1 cup ice cubes
Instructions
- 1
Prepare your lychees by peeling and pitting them if using fresh fruit. If using canned lychees, drain them thoroughly to remove the syrup. Measure out 1 cup of the prepared lychees and add them to the pitcher of your high-speed blender.
- 2
Pour in 1 cup of your chosen liquid, such as unsweetened almond milk, coconut milk, or plain water. Add 0.5 teaspoon of food-grade rose water for that distinct floral aroma and flavor. If you prefer a sweeter juice, add 1 tablespoon of honey or maple syrup now.
- 3
Add 1 cup of ice cubes to the blender. Secure the lid tightly and blend on high speed for approximately 60 to 90 seconds. Continue blending until the mixture is completely smooth and has a uniform, frothy consistency, ensuring no large ice shards remain.
- 4
Carefully taste the juice and adjust the sweetness if needed by adding a little more honey or maple syrup, blending again for about 10 seconds to incorporate. The juice should have a pleasant balance of lychee sweetness and rose fragrance.
- 5
Pour the finished lychee rose juice into two chilled glasses. Serve immediately to enjoy its refreshing coolness and vibrant flavor profile. For a slightly thicker, smoothie-like consistency, you can reduce the liquid slightly and add a few more ice cubes.

Tips & Notes
- Warm milk (not hot) is key for yeast-based recipes — aim for 105–115°F to activate yeast without killing it.
- Toast desiccated coconut in a dry pan over medium heat for 2–3 minutes, stirring, for a deeper flavor.
- Warm honey (set the jar in hot water for a few minutes) makes it easier to measure and pour.
