Pour cold water into a bowl and add the gelatine leaves. Wait for the gelatine to soften. Pour the milk into a saucepan and heat over a low heat. Do not allow the milk to boil.
Squeeze most of the liquid from the soaked gelatine leaves, then dissolve the gelatine in the warm milk. Add the sugar and double cream to another saucepan and bring to a boil.
Remove the sugar and double cream from the heat and pour it into the other pan containing the gelatine mixture. Add a few drops of vanilla extract.
Allow to cool to room temperature, then pour the mixture into 6 small glasses. Place the glasses in the refrigerator for at least an hour.
Reuse the bowl of cold water, and add fresh gelatine leaves. Add the sugar, a little red food colouring and water to a small saucepan and heat.
Add the rose water. Do not add too much as rose water has a potent flavour. Squeeze most of the liquid from the gelatine leaves, then dissolve the gelatine in the warm rose water mixture.
Peel the lychees and halve them. Once the panna cotta has set well in the refrigerator, you can place 3 half lychees on top of each portion, then pour over the rose jelly.
Place back in the refrigerator and wait half an hour until the rose jelly has set. Enjoy!
