Beat the heat of Summer – Litchi mocktail

Litchi is very rich source of the nutrients that required for the production of blood.

Ingredients

• 40 litchis (prefer red ripe lychee)
• 4 tbsp of lemon juice
• Sugar 6 tsp ( prefer powdered  sugar)
• 2 cup of chilled limca or sprite/ soda water
• Few ice cubes
• Mint leaves , litchi pulp and lemon rings for garnishing

Directions

• Peel the litchi and discard the seeds.
• Puree the litchis in a blender.
• Strain the litchi puree through soup strainer to remove any hard particles or impurities.
• Add lemon juice and sugar to the puree.
• Take a glass, pour half of glass with  litchi drink / puree  .
• Then after add 1 cup of  limca/ soda water in  each glass of  litchi lemonade/ puree mixture.
• Add few ice cubes.
• Garnish with mint leaves, litchi pulp and lemon rings.
• Serve immediately. Serve chilled in boring scorching summer afternoon.

  My mom tips-

• If you have not limica or soda water just skip this.
  Go with other ingredients of this easy recipe… litchi lemonade is ready to sip.
• Use powdered sugar to instead of granule sugar because it will take less time.
• Use fresh ripe litchis. Adjust sugar in litchis drink according to the sweetness of litchis.
  If the litchis are sour .add more amount of sugar. I have mentioned above a normal requirements for this recipe.
• Always load this drink with lots of ice cubes for cooling and refreshing effect.

  That’s all for the day.
  I am sure that you will make this summer cooler at this very Sunday afternoon for your near and dear ones.

  All the best.
  We shall come very soon with some more summer coolers.

We are signing off.
