Recipe Notes

Expert Tips for the Best Litchi Lemonade

For a sweeter lemonade, increase the amount of sugar or honey to your preference.
If using canned litchis, ensure they are well-drained before blending to avoid a watery consistency.
For a smoother texture, strain the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve before serving.
Experiment with other garnishes, such as lime wedges or edible flowers, for an extra touch of elegance.
