Crystal Clear: white tea, lychee and yuzu

Citrus arrives through the glass wall. The liquid stays pale and dry.

This is the no-alcohol pour. Serve it in the same glass as the cocktail.

Still base one day. Wipe glasses at the table. Sparkling water from a bottle small enough to finish that night.

• Chilled white tea12 oz
• Clarified lychee juice6 oz
• Verjus blanc4.5 oz
• Yuzu juice1.5 oz
• Sparkling water12 oz

Multiplying the ingredients is the easy half. These are the parts of the recipe that the batch count does not move.

Cooking time

Nothing cooks, so batch size does not change a cooking time. Chilling does not scale either — it is set by the depth of the container, so a double batch in one deep tub takes far longer than two shallow ones.

1. Read the whole method before you shop. This is a planning recipe for crystal clear: white tea, lychee and yuzu, not a certified kitchen test.
2. Amounts below are one batch: 6 portions. Build a plan and this card scales itself to it.
3. This dish can be completed up to 1 day ahead. Cold storage is the real limit — do not make it ahead if the fridge is already tight.
4. No heat. Assemble from cold ingredients. Keep covered until service.
5. Hold time is short (10 min). Finish close to service. Do not guess a longer hold.
6. Drink pairing: This is the no-alcohol pour. Serve it in the same glass as the cocktail.
7. Leftover route: Still base one day. Wipe glasses at the table. Sparkling water from a bottle small enough to finish that night.
8. Confirm every ingredient and every allergen yourself. Dietary tags are planning filters, not safety guarantees.
