Litchi Matcha
A fragrant, layered summer cooler blending sweet KwaZulu-Natal litchis, creamy coconut milk, and ceremonial matcha over frozen litchi ice cubes.
Earthy matcha, floral litchis, and silky coconut milk make an elite flavour combination. Fresh litchi flesh is blended directly into rich coconut milk, poured over sweet frozen litchi juice ice cubes, and crowned with a warm layer of freshly whisked ceremonial matcha.

Ivana’s note
Freezing actual litchi juice into ice cubes prevents your drink from tasting watered down as the ice melts in the summer heat!
