How to Make Mandarin Sorbet Over Lychees

  1. Combine 1 cup of sugar and 1 cup of water in a saucepan. Heat over low heat, stirring constantly, until the sugar is completely dissolved.
  2. Bring the sugar syrup to a boil, then remove from heat and let it cool completely.
  3. Make mandarin puree: Blend 2 cups of peeled mandarin orange segments until smooth. Alternatively, push the segments through a fine-mesh sieve.
  4. Add the mandarin puree and 1/2 cup of mandarin orange juice to the cooled sugar syrup. Stir in 2 tablespoons of your favorite orange liqueur (optional).
  5. Stir the mixture well to combine all ingredients thoroughly.
  6. Pour the mixture into a shallow freezer-safe container. Freeze for at least 4 hours, or until firm, stirring every 30-45 minutes to prevent large ice crystals from forming.
  7. To serve, place a few extra mandarin segments in each glass.
  8. Top with 3-4 chilled lychees.
  9. Drizzle 2 tablespoons of canned lychee syrup over the lychees.
  10. Scoop a generous portion of the frozen mandarin sorbet on top.
  11. Garnish with a fresh mint sprig for an extra touch of elegance.
