Ingredients
- 4 ripe guavas, peeled and chopped
- 2 cups coconut water
- 1 cup cold water
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup (optional)
- Juice of 1 lime
- Ice cubes
- Fresh mint leaves for garnish (optional)
Instructions
- Start by peeling and chopping the ripe guavas. Place the juicy pieces into a blender.
- Add the cold water to the blender, and blend until the guava pieces are smooth and the mixture transforms into a thick puree.
- Next, strain the guava puree through a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a mixing bowl. Press with a spoon to extract all the juice, avoiding the seeds.
- Pour the freshly extracted guava juice back into the blender, and add the coconut water. Blend again to mix thoroughly.
- Add the honey or agave syrup if you prefer a sweeter drink, and squeeze in the lime juice. Blend for a few seconds more until everything is well combined.
- Fill your serving glasses with ice cubes, pour the guava coconut juice over the ice, and give it a gentle stir.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic touch. Sip and savor the tropical symphony of flavors.
Helpful Tips and Variations
- If guavas are not in season, you can use canned guava pulp but opt for one without added sugar.
- Serve in a chilled glass to enhance the refreshing quality of the drink, especially on a hot day.
- For a different twist, try adding a splash of pineapple juice for an extra layer of tropical flavor.
Storage and Substitutions
- Refrigerate any leftover guava coconut juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days to maintain its fresh taste.
- If you need a sweetener substitute, consider using maple syrup or stevia for a diet-friendly option.
- Frozen guava chunks can be used instead of fresh ones, just ensure they are thawed before blending.
Pairings and Complements
- Pair this guava coconut juice with a light, crunchy salad or tropical fruit platter for a delightful snack.
- This drink complements well with grilled chicken or fish, making it an ideal refreshment for a barbecue gathering.
- For a sweet treat, serve alongside coconut cookies or a guava pastry to elevate the tropical flavors.
