Chef tips
Do not overuse the rose water, so the floral aroma does not overpower the lychee and grapefruit. For a thicker texture, slightly reduce the milk or add more yogurt.
Substitutions
You can substitute the plain yogurt with lactose-free or plant-based yogurt, and the milk with oat or almond beverage. Pistachios can be replaced with toasted coconut if you need to avoid specific tree nuts.
