Lychee punch recipe

This Christmas, I spent my holiday in Reunion Island. At this time of year, the market stalls are red with lychees. Lychees are in season from November to January. This small red fruit is ideal for a Christmas in the Tropics and is in great demand during this period. So I used the opportunity to make lychee punch. Here’s my recipe, it’s easy but should be consumed in moderation !
