मराठीमध्ये वाचण्यासाठी इथे क्लिक करा Here almost all stores sell the canned lychees but never the fresh ones. Last month I decided to give it a try especially for ice-cream. It turns out that if you use the syrup you get pretty good flavor from one can Ingredients 1 Can of Seedless Lychee 1/2 Cup Sugar 1/2 Cup Milk 3.5 Cup Cream 1 Lemon Method Take out lychees from the syrup and put the syrup in the mixie. Add in sugar and milk and blend it till the sugar is disolved. Mix in cream and lemon juice and whisk a bit. Add it in ice-cream maker and let it set. Fine chop the lychees and mix that in the ice-cream around 3-4 minutes before the setting is complete. Notes If using fresh lychees just use around 30 lychees. Puree around 15 of them with 2 cups of water and use that instead of lychee syrup and finely chop remaining lychees. You might need to use probably 2/3 cup of sugar. The lemon helps in bringing out the taste from the lychee.
