Prep Time: 15 minutes
Total Time: 15 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy

Ingredients:

  • 1 can (20 oz) lychees in syrup
  • 1 cup fresh lemon juice (about 4 lemons)
  • 3 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
  • 3 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes
  • Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
  • Lemon slices for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Drain the lychees, reserving the syrup. Set a few lychees aside for garnish and place the rest in a blender.
  2. Add the fresh lemon juice, honey, and 1 cup of cold water to the blender. Blend until smooth, capturing the exotic scent of lychee mixed with the tangy aroma of lemon.
  3. Pour the lychee mixture through a fine strainer into a large pitcher to remove any pulp, ensuring a smooth infusion.
  4. Add the remaining 2 cups of cold water and the reserved lychee syrup to the pitcher. Stir well to combine.
  5. Serve the infusion over ice cubes in chilled glasses. Garnish with the reserved lychees, fresh mint leaves, and lemon slices for a touch of elegance.

Helpful Tips and Variations:

  • For a more natural sweetener, replace honey with agave syrup or maple syrup.
  • If fresh lychees are in season, use them instead of canned to enhance the flavor.
  • Want a fizzy twist? Use sparkling water instead of still water.
  • For an extra refreshing touch, chill your glasses in the freezer before serving.

Storage and Substitutions:

  • Refrigerate any leftover drink in an airtight container for up to 2 days.
  • If lychees are not available, use canned rambutans or longans as substitutes.
  • For a sugar-free option, replace honey with a sweetener that suits your dietary needs.

Pairings and Complements:

  • Enjoy with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches or cheese platters.
  • Pair with desserts such as lemon bars or fruit tarts for an extra treat.
  • Serve alongside a fresh garden salad to balance the flavors beautifully.
