Yummy Lotus in Longan summer drink! Nhãn lồng hạt sen!

So what inspires me to cool down this summer? A homemade summer drink - Longan Lotus! Yay..my mom used to make this for us when we were little and now of course my turn to make this for my hubby. He actually joined a part of the making process in peeling the cell and removing the seed of those longans. It kinna took a while for him! Well, as the result, it tastes incredible as it always is, just like my mom making...

Chill until cool. Whip remaining cream with an elecric mixer, and add to the mixture carefully. Pour into an ice cream machine and prepare according to the manufacturer’s instructions.
