Lychee Rose Cold Brew: a floral, fragrant iced coffee
↓ Jump to recipeQuick answer
A lychee rose cold brew is 30 g ground coffee steeped in 250 ml water for 12-15 hours, poured over 100 g ice with 15 ml Swa Lychee Rose Syrup. Stir gently and garnish with rose petals. The taste is light, fragrant and fruity, ideal for afternoons.
Lychee brings juicy sweetness and rose adds a subtle floral note. On cold brew the combination tastes light and elegant.
Why does lychee rose suit cold brew?
The smooth, low-bitterness cold brew leaves room for delicate flavours. Lychee and rose stay fragrant in the cup, which makes this a good afternoon drink for guests who find coffee too heavy.
How should I present it?
Serve in a highball glass over ice and top with rose petals. You can add a lychee as well for a fuller presentation. See more recipes or the cafe range.
