This dessert recipe from Tony Fleming is a beautifully balanced dish of powerful flavours, with rose, lychee and rosemary used to just the right degree for a harmonious outcome. The buttermilk panna cotta is a wonderfully creamy counterpart to the tangy lychee granita, while the raspberry and rose iced tea adds a fragrant element to the dish.
