TWG Grand Crus Prestige: Iced Lychee Tea Recipe ( 荔枝冰茶 )

I have fallen prey to Iced Lychee Tea since a food tasting session at Arteastiq Boutique Tea House some time back. I had the chance to demonstrate my creativity once again when I was hosting a guest from Australia recently, and the idea of serving her the Iced Lychee Tea surfaced.

I was staring at my collection of TWG teas, and picked the TWG Grand Crus Prestige Grand Jasmine Tea which I thought would be a perfect match. I paired the sachets of tea with a can of Mili Lychee in Heavy Syrup, and out came the Refreshing Iced Lychee Tea ( 荔枝冰茶 ). My girlfriend loves it and in fact, she cleaned up all the dishes I cooked for her that day without a trace. That of course, made me very happy! Let’s check out how easy it is to make this iced tea!

Ingredients:
2 TWG Grand Crus Prestige Grand Jasmine Tea Bags
1 canned Lychee
900ml Water
100ml Hot Water
3 tbsp Sugar
8 Lychees
Lychee Ice Cubes

Method:

• Steep tea in hot water, and add sugar.

• Pour lychee syrup into pitcher. Add tea and water to infuse.

• Cut up about 6 lychees and put them into ice cube trays. Pour tea when cooled. Freeze, and refrigerate the rest of the tea.

• Remove lychee ice cubes and drop into serving glass. Pour tea and top glass with lychee. Serve your Refreshing Iced Lychee Tea ( 荔枝冰茶 ) chilled.
