Method
Coffee Preparation
Brew the Coffee
Start by brewing the Colombian coffee beans. Grind 100 grams of Colombian coffee beans to a medium-coarse consistency. In a coffee maker or French press, combine the ground coffee with 500 ml of hot water. Allow it to steep for about 4-5 minutes before straining the coffee into a carafe. Set aside.
Lychee Syrup Preparation
Prepare Lychee Syrup
Peel and pit 200 grams of fresh lychee fruit. In a saucepan, combine the lychee, 100 grams of sugar, and 100 ml of water. Heat over medium heat while stirring until the sugar dissolves and the mixture starts to simmer. Let it simmer for about 10 minutes until it thickens slightly. Remove from heat and let it cool, then strain the syrup through a fine mesh sieve into a jar, discarding the solids.
Assemble the Drink
Combine Ingredients
In a tall glass, add 1 cup of ice cubes. Pour the brewed Colombian coffee over the ice, followed by 50 ml of the lychee syrup. Stir well to combine.
