  • Put the lychee drink in a pan with the coconut milk, caster sugar and 400ml cold water. Bring to the boil then remove from the heat.

  • Put the rice in a small pan and stir in ⅓ of the hot liquid. Simmer for 4-5 mins, stirring continuously, until the liquid has been absorbed. Add the rest of the liquid 1 ladle at a time, stirring - don't add more until the previous lot has been absorbed. Chop ½ the lychees and stir into the rice.

  • Heat the demerara sugar gently in a pan until melted. Remove from the heat and swirl in the pistachios to coat. Spoon onto baking paper to cool, then chop.

  • Divide the rice between 6 bowls and top with the rest of the lychees, the papaya and pistachios. Serve warm.
