Dried bird’s nest 10 gr Lychee 4 fruits Red apple a little Goji berries a little Chia seeds 1 teaspoon Rock sugar 2 teaspoons
How to choose delicious lychee
- To choose good lychee that is not spoiled, you should pay attention to the outside, prioritize selecting fruits that are pink-red in color, and round and even.
- Ripe lychee usually has smooth spikes, fewer spikes, and is less sharp compared to green lychee. When touching ripe lychee, it will have a slight softness but is quite firm.
- If it’s good lychee, when sniffed, you will feel the light, characteristic fragrance of ripe lychee. Conversely, spoiled fruits often have a sour smell and unpleasant fermented odor.
- For more certainty, you should peel 1-2 fruits to check. Good lychee, just ripe will have white flesh at the stem, not bruised, rotten, especially the skin should be dry, easy to peel, and not leaking syrup.
- You should not choose fruits with dark spots on the outside, strange smells, difficult to peel skin, bruised flesh at the stem, leaking syrup, and the lychee flesh is dull and wilted. These are fruits that have wilted or are about to spoil.
