- When ready to server, prepare the glaze.
Glaze (Gelee)
- Add water, sugar and lilikoi concentrate to a small pot and whisk on medium heat 1-2 minutes.

How is 2 tbsp enough to give it any lilikoi flavour?
The concentrate is pretty strong. I use more though cause I love lilikoi! I also always make more glaze
