They arrived in a beautiful brown cardboard box tied with a red ribbon. Baby Poppy helped me untie the ribbon and then I squealed with delight at its contents. Poppy stared at me blankly, a little freaked out by my sudden outburst.
and#8220;Lychee season is here!and#8221; I told her excitedly. and#8220;Youand#8217;ve never tasted lychees, do you want to try one?and#8221;
I immediately peeled a lychee and popped a small segment into her mouth. She smiled and juice dribbled down her chin. Then she opened her mouth for more. It was love at first lychee.
As far as Iand#8217;m concerned there are only two ways to enjoy lychees:
1. Straight up. Peeled and eaten immediately. (Slightly frozen are a close 1B).
and;
2. With booze. Preferably gin, or pureed into a martini, or with this granita.
When Poppy went to bed, hubby fixed us both a nice drink of gin and tonic with fresh lychee. Now thatand#8217;s a great night in!
