India provides a great tropical climate for the growth of lychees. The typical lychee taste stands out and it’s so much fun peeling the light cover and eating it. Lychees are known for their calcium, copper, phosphorus and potassium contents and hence are good to include in your diet wherever possible. In the current season, it’s easy to see the fruit vendors selling the red-coloured lychees tied in bunches. Well, I used lychees to make lemonade today and the taste was absolutely refreshing. The drink had the right balance of sweet, salt and tangy and it received loads of appreciation. Lychee lemonade is best suited for the summer weather, and it looks appealing as well.
