Step 2: Add an appropriate amount of ice and pour in about 120ml of sparkling water.
Step 3: Fill the water reservoir of the Outin Nano portable electric espresso maker with fresh water. We recommend adding 50ml of water for the best espresso taste.
Step 4: Insert the Espresso capsule properly and securely into the designated slot on the portable espresso maker.
Step 5: Place your pretty glass beneath the Outin Nano and push the button for 3 seconds to start the water heating process, which is indicated by a beep. The espresso extraction will begin automatically after the water has warmed.
Step 6: Once the espresso extraction is finished, stir gently and serve immediately!
Some tips to keep in mind when making Lychee Sparkling Iced Americano:
1. Choose ripe and sweet lychees for the best taste. If you can't find fresh lychees, you can use canned lychees instead, but make sure to drain them well before using them.
2. Crush the lychees thoroughly with a muddler or blender to release their juices. This will give your drink a more intense lychee flavor.
3. Add the espresso to the lychee and sparkling water mixture right before serving to keep the drink fresh and bubbly.
4. If you prefer a sweeter drink, you can add a teaspoon of honey or sugar to the lychee mixture before adding the sparkling water and ice.
5. For a fancier presentation, you can garnish the drink with a sprig of mint or a slice of lychee on the rim of the glass.
6. Making a perfect Lychee Sparkling Iced Americano takes some practice, so don't be afraid to experiment with different ratios and ingredients until you find the perfect combination that suits your taste.
