Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftover lychee and rose mixture in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
- If fresh lychees are in season, they make a wonderful substitute for canned lychees, just make sure to peel and pit them first.
- For a sugar-free version, use a sugar-free rose syrup and replace soda water with plain sparkling water.
