Ingredients
- 12 fresh lychee
- 1 tbsp. white sugar optional

For Lychee Jelly Boba
- 1/2 cup lychee jelly cut into small cubes
- 1 black tea bag
- 1 cup hot boiling water
- 1 cup milk
- 2 tbsp. lychee syrup or other syrup
Instructions
Prepare and peel lychee
- Rinse the lychees well, peel the skin, and remove the seeds. Roughly chop the fruit and blend into a juice with water.
Jelly Mixture
- Strain the juice with a sieve and add it to a saucepan.
- Boil the liquid, reduce the heat, and add the sugar. Let the sugar dissolve before adding agar agar.
- Add the thickening agent and stir until it dissolves fully. Remove from stove top.
Set and mold jelly
- Take a square baking pan or silicone mold with square holes. Pour the liquid jelly, tap the pan or mold to allow air bubbles to escape. Brush the top with a spatula to smoothen it.
- Leave it to rest and set. When the jelly is firm enough, remove gently from the pan.
- Cut the jelly into squares with a sharp knife. Start at one end and cut into ½ inch sticks from top to bottom. Now make similar cuts from left to right. Set aside for now.
