I'm assuming it was natural sugars because under "ING" it only listed
"lichee." But again, I was a bit scared of it which is why I stayed
away... I'm normally pretty adventurous though and next time I'm there
I'll just bite the bullet and buy them. Could it be the stem/branch
from the Lychee? I wouldn't think there to be much flavor or sugars in
there. It was only like $4, I had figured (like with the LU PU) that
I'd go home and do a quick web search, figure it out, and go back and
buy them... however neither the twigs nor the LU PU was found online
anywhere.
