Ingredients

  • Fresh lychees

Instructions

  • Use your fingernail or a sharp knife to pierce the lychee's outer skin and peel it. The rind should come off easily.
  • Now you can either cut the lychee in half or score the flesh along one side to reveal the seed and remove it. The seed is not edible.
  • That's it! Now you can enjoy your lychee. Don't worry about the brown membrane that's stuck to the flesh - it's perfectly edible.
