It was my daughter who introduced Lychee Tea to me. It was a very sweet but refreshing drink. I usually don’t enjoy very sweet drinks, but I enjoyed it. Fresh Lychees are not easy to find where I live, but Canned Lychees are available from many supermarket stores. I bought one from a Woolworths store. This recipe might be different from the authentic ones, but it makes fairly nice Lychee Tea. It might be a good idea to make this Lychee Tea not so sweet, and serve it with Syrup.

Add the canned Lychees and Syrup to the Tea, add Sugar for extra sweetness to suit your taste, and cool completely. *Note: It might be a good idea to make the Lychee Tea not so sweet, and serve it with Syrup.

When you serve, place Ice Cubes in the glasses, pour the tea, and add some Lychees. *Note: You can add some fresh Lychees for amazing fragrance and flavour.
