Litchi Juice (Lychee Juice) is a sweet and slightly tangy beverage, full of flavours of the seasonal fruit, litchi and lemon. This is perfect for a refreshing summer drink.
12 to 15 litchis 3.5 cups water at room temperature or cold 1 large lemon or 2 small to medium-sized lemons 2 to 3 tbsp raw sugar or white sugar, adjust as needed Mint leaves for garnish (optional) Lemon slices for garnish (optional) Ice cubes (optional)
Remove the leathery skin of the litchi fruit. Remove the fleshy pulp with a paring knife or clean fingers, and discard the seeds.
In a blender, put all the litchi fruit pulp and make a smooth and fine puree without adding any water.
In a jar, add the litchi puree, water, and sugar.
Halve the lemon and extract the juice directly into the jar using a lemon squeezer. Mix and stir until the sugar dissolves completely.
Pour litchi juice into glasses, add ice cubes, and garnish with mint leaves or lemon slices if desired. Serve immediately.
