# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- It comes together in literally ten minutes with ingredients you can keep in your pantry for months
- The combination of creamy coconut and perfumey lychee tastes like something you would order at a fancy Thai restaurant but costs pennies to make at home
02 -
- The chilled coconut milk makes a huge difference in texture so do not skip that step or your drink will feel thin instead of creamy
- Canned lychees vary wildly in sweetness between brands so always taste your blended mixture before adding any extra sweetener
03 -
- Use a high speed blender if you have one—it breaks down the lychee flesh completely so you do not get any weird texture surprises
- Rim your glasses with coconut sugar for that extra touch that makes people think you spent way more time than you actually did
