Preparation
- In a small saucepan, combine the sugar, salt, ginger and 4 cups of water. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat to low and simmer until the liquid is reduced by half, about 20 minutes. Set aside to cool.
- In a skillet over medium-low heat, toast the coconut, tossing until evenly toasted. Spread on a plate to cool.
- In a large bowl, combine the oranges and lychees. Remove and discard the ginger from the syrup and pour the syrup over the fruit. Mix in the mint and chill.
- To serve, spoon the fruit mixture into 8 small bowls. Add about 2 tablespoons crushed ice to each bowl and top with toasted coconut. Serve immediately.
