Notes & Tips
Get creative with your “eyeballs”: Swap the blueberries with black grapes. You can also dip the lychees into hibiscus tea for that extra spooky red eye tint.
Play with presentation: Clear glasses show off the floating colours of the tea and the skewered lychees.
How about making the drink in another glass. Pour some into your clear glass, add an eyeball, pour more and repeat. This way the eyes look like they are floating !

FAQs
Yes! Brew the black mallow and lemongrass tea in advance and chill it. Keep the lychee “eyeballs” separate until just before serving to maintain their shape and visual appeal.
Absolutely. We recommend canned lychee – use the juice as part of the drink before skewering. Fresh lychee can also be used ! (You can crush up some lychees or buy some lychee juice to add!) They give a slightly firmer texture, but both options are delicious.
Definitely. Add a splash of gin or vodka for a mystical cocktail that’s as tasty as it is theatrical.
