Mise en place
Before you start
Prep checklist
Lychee — frozen if possible
Blend the fruit with the liquid until smooth; strain if you want it glass-clear, keep it rustic if you don't.
Add ice and pulse to your thickness. Taste — fruit varies; honey and citrus are the two dials.
Taste before serving and adjust salt and acid — the last 30 seconds of seasoning matter more than any single ingredient.
Afterwards
Keep, reheat & pair
Storage
Best the day it's made; syrups and bases keep a week refrigerated.
Freezing
Freeze bases into cubes for instant future drinks.
Reheating
Serve as intended — hot drinks fresh, cold drinks over plenty of ice.
