1 cup Peeled and deseeded lychee
-
1 tbsp Sugar

2 tbsp Water

500 ml Water

few Ice cubes
Directions
My daughter loves iced tea. More than the food she eats, she ends up drinking gallons of this drink. The first time my daughter told me that she drank iced tea, my reaction was like why in the world would anyone drink tea which is cold????But then I tasted it too and reluctantly agreed that I liked it. Then I went on to try the different flavours with which the iced tea can be made and tried this lychee flavour as it is in season now. Since vibha loves lychee I am sure she will love this. I wish she was around to taste this but am sure she can make this seeing the recipe. My son who is not a great fan of this fruit or any berry for that matter loved this and more than anything spent an hour to get the perfect shot.Lucky to have kids who encourage my journey in this blogging world.

Lychee is one among my favorite fruit and tea with it sounds delicious. Very refreshing.
Hot days in Mombasa means I love iced tea. I’ve made quite a few flavours but have to still try lychee one.
I totally love how the iced tea looks… it’s my latest craze!
Aww, I miss lychee and seeing your post makes me sadder that we don’t get them here. Lovely iced tea.
Beautiful click. My daughter loves lychee tea too and we keep buying it from a local store. Bookmarked to try this out, though I am not sure if I’ll ever find lychees here.
