Ingredients

  • 1 cup fresh lychee, peeled and pitted
  • 1/2 cup fresh mint leaves
  • 1/4 cup fresh lime juice
  • 2 tablespoons honey (optional)
  • 4 cups cold water
  • Ice cubes
  • Mint sprigs for garnish
  • Lime slices for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a blender, combine the lychees, fresh mint leaves, and lime juice. Blend until you get a smooth puree. The fresh, fragrant burst of mint combined with the sweet lychee will make your kitchen smell like a summer garden.
  2. Add the honey to the mixture if you prefer a sweeter touch. Blend briefly to mix.
  3. Pour the puree into a large jug and add the cold water. Stir well to combine. You’ll notice the delightful balance of sweet and zesty with each stir.
  4. Fill your serving glasses with ice cubes and pour the lychee mint juice over the ice.
  5. Garnish with fresh mint sprigs and lime slices for a visually appealing and flavorful finish.

Helpful Tips and Variations

  • If lychees are not in season, you can use canned lychees, just be sure to reduce the honey as the syrup tends to be sweet.
  • For a twist, add a splash of soda water before serving for that fizzy excitement.
  • Serve in a chilled glass for extra refreshment, making each sip crisp and cooling.

Storage and Substitutions

  • The lychee mint mixture can be stored in the refrigerator for up to two days in an airtight container. Give it a good stir before serving as ingredients can settle.
  • For a different flavor profile, replace mint with basil or coriander for an equally refreshing drink.

Pairings and Complements

This Lychee Mint Juice pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cucumber sandwiches or a fresh fruit platter. For a more substantial pairing, serve it alongside grilled chicken or seafood dishes at your next family barbecue.
