1/4 cup sugar, powdered
2 lychees, tinned
Black salt to taste
4-6 fresh mint leaves
Crushed ice as required

Peel, and slice pineapple thinly. Dust fresh pineapple slices with powdered sugar. Arrange them on a tray and heat, turning over from time to time, till they caramelize.
This will take about five minutes. Add some water and continue cooking for another three minutes.
Place these slices in a blender with lychees and blend. Add the caramel liquid and blend again.
Add black salt and mint leaves and blend. Add ice, crushed peppercorns and blend once more.
Pour the liquid into a stemmed glass. Put in a lemongrass stalk as stirrer and serve chilled
