2. 400 grams of sugar
3. 1/4 teaspoon salt
4. 500 ml water

Making 

Step 1: Cook the sugar syrup.

Pour 500ml of water into a pot and bring to a boil. Once the water boils, add 400g of sugar and 1/4 teaspoon of salt, and stir until dissolved. Then turn off the heat and let the sugar syrup cool.

 

Step 2: Briefly blanch the fabric.

Remove the stems from the lychees and wash them thoroughly. Bring a pot of water to a boil, then blanch the lychees for 2 minutes. Remove the lychees and place them in a bowl of ice water, soaking them for about 10 minutes.

Step 3: Remove the lychees from the water and peel them. Use a sharp knife to carefully cut around the stem end of the lychee, or you can use a straw from a bubble tea drink to poke into the seed and carefully remove the seed without crushing the fruit. Alternatively, you can simply use a knife to split the lychee in half and remove the seed.

Step 4: After removing the pulp from the lychees, soak them in a bowl of ice water for about 10 minutes. Then, remove them and let them drain.

Step 5: Take a clean glass jar, put the lychee pulp inside, and pour in the cooled sugar syrup until the lychee is completely submerged. Close the lid and store in the refrigerator. After about 2 days, you can take it out and use it.
