METHOD:

For Lychee Juice with Fresh Lychees:

• If using fresh Lychees, peel off the skin and cut the lychees and remove the seed.

• Then cut them into small pieces.
• Pour in the water, sugar & blend it until well combined.
• Pour the Lychee Juice through a strainer. 
• I use my juicer jar (which came along with my blender) for the purpose, which has a strainer within, which makes the process easier.
• Collect the strained Lychee Juice in a bowl. 
• Add Lemon Juice and give a quick stir.
  
• If you are adding Honey, then add it at this stage.
  
• Pour it into a tall glass and serve the Lychee Juice chilled or at room temperature.

 NOTES:

• I have used about 15-20 fresh Lychees, and I got a medium-sized glass of Lychee Juice out of it.
• I have added a cup of water while blending the Lychees.
  
• Adding Sweeteners to the drink is purely optional.
• Adjust the amount of Lemon Juice to suit your taste preference.
  
• Adding Mint Leaves/Basil Leaves to the juice can give you an extra note of taste and flavour to Lychee Lemonade. But it is purely optional.
• Can also add a small teaspoon of soaked Basil Seeds(Sabja) to the Lychee Lemonade.  Sabja Seeds helps in cooling down the body system as a whole.

HOW TO STORE FRESH HOME-MADE FRESH LYCHEE JUICE?

• It is best enjoyed shortly after it is made. 
• However, you can keep it in your refrigerator for 2–3 days in a glass bottle or jar.  Keep it covered.
• Freshly extracted Lychee Juice (without added sweeteners) can be stored in the refrigerator for about 2 days. 
• Do not dilute it with water if you're storing it.
• Do not add Lemon Juice to the Lychee Juice if you are planning to store it.
• Add Lemon Juice just before serving for a refreshing feel, if stored for a longer time the drink may turn bitter.
