Ingredients to make Lychee Lemonade:
- 2 lemons
- 8 pieces of Lychee
- 1 tablespoon of Sugar
- 2 glasses of water
How to make Lychee Lemonade:
- As to prepare any lemonade, the first thing we will do is squeeze the lemons. Try to make good use of them and get as much juice as possible, discarding the seeds that may have slipped into you.
- For this lemonade you can use limes or lemons, let’s remember that in many Latin American countries it is more common to get limes, which are known as lemons.
- Mix the pure lemon juice with the sugar, stir and reserve this preparation. If you prefer not to use sugar you can sweeten this homemade lemonade with a little honey, brown sugar or sweetener.
- Now it is the turn of the protagonist of our recipe, the lychee. She washes and peels the lychees, removing the pulp from inside. You will see how it is a white pulp that is very different from its skin, which is usually red.
- Lychee is a fruit rich in potassium, vitamin C and low in sodium, which makes it a perfect food to include in the diet of people with high blood pressure. It is also an effective natural pain reliever.
- Trick: To make the lychee lemonade you can use natural or canned fruit
- Next, place the lychees in the blender together with the water. Crush at maximum power making sure that there are no large pieces of fruit. Then pass this juice through a strainer, squeezing the juice or bagasse that remains of the fruit as much as possible.
- The idea is to get a homogeneous lemonade, which does not contain pieces of fruit.
- Mix the two preparations, the lychee juice with the lemon juice and sugar and blend everything again. At this point it’s good to taste the lemonade to make sure it has the right sweetness.
- Finally, make a couple of glasses with plenty of ice and serve the lychee lemonade to cool down on a hot summer day. You will be surprised how the mixture with the lychee makes the lemonade have a different sweetness and is much more refreshing than usual.
