1
Boil the Water
In a saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
2
Steep the Tea
Once the water is boiling, remove it from heat and add 2 tsp of green tea leaves. Allow it to steep for 3-5 minutes, depending on your desired strength.
3
Strain the Tea
After steeping, strain the tea leaves using a fine mesh strainer or tea infuser into a heatproof pitcher. Let the tea cool to room temperature.

Combine Lychee Fruit and Syrup
In a separate bowl, combine 1 cup of chopped canned lychee fruit with 2 tbs of lychee syrup. Mix well to ensure the fruit is coated.
5
Mix with Tea
Add the lychee mixture to the cooled green tea. Stir gently to combine.

Add Sweetener
If desired, add 1 tbs of honey or sugar to the tea mixture. Stir until the sweetener is fully dissolved.
