Notes
- Instead of using tea leaves, you can use tea bags. It is easier to handle and mess-free.
- If using tea leaves you have to strain and remove the tea dust. It's not required if using tea bags.
- If using tea bags, steep the tea bags in hot boiling water for 10 mins. Let it infuse and then remove and let the tea cool down completely.
- Similarly, you can use canned lychee along with the syrup instead of fresh lychee too.
- If using the syrup along with the canned lychee you can skip the other sweeteners we add.
- Adjust the sweetness as per your preference.
- Chop or crush the fruit a bit to release more flavor to the tea.
