Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 12 pieces Fresh lychees (or canned lychee in syrup)
- 0.5 cup Lemon juice
- 0.25 cup Sugar (adjust to taste)
- 3 cups Water
- 1 cup Ice cubes
- 4 leaves Mint leaves (optional, for garnish)
- 3 slices Lemon slices (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
If using fresh lychees, peel and remove the seeds. If using canned lychee in syrup, drain the syrup but reserve a few lychees for garnish.
Add the peeled and pitted lychees to a blender along with the lemon juice and sugar.
Blend until smooth, making sure the mixture is well combined.
Strain the blended mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a pitcher to remove any pulp, if desired.
Add water to the mixture and stir well to dilute the flavors to your liking.
Taste and adjust sweetness if needed by adding more sugar or lemon juice.
Chill the lemonade in the refrigerator for 30 minutes, or serve immediately over ice cubes in glasses.
Garnish with mint leaves, lemon slices, and reserved lychees before serving. Enjoy your Lychee Lemonade!
