For Valentine’s Day Amai will be offering a Luscious Lychee Gift Box which includes Lychee Botanical Brownies and loose leaf Lychee Tea. With bright red skin and small heart shapes, lychees are known as the fruit of romance and love. I like to think of them like a secret weapon in our brownies, boosting the seductive power of chocolate up a notch.
When ready to eat the brownies, all you have to do is invite your love over, turn on your favorite music, turn the lights down low and brew a pot of warm lychee tea. Watch the little lychees work their romantic magic! Ok, maybe the mood could be a result of the atmosphere or company, but a little help never hurts.

I adore lychee nuts, simply adore them. But never thought to cook with them. Never thought to do anything with them, as a matter of fact, other then peel and eat. But you are giving me idea, assuming, of course, some are left over after the peel-and-eat orgy. Thanks!
