Total Time: 10 minutes
Servings: 4
Skill Level: Easy
Ingredients
- 4 large guavas, ripe and fragrant
- 1/2 cup fresh lime juice (about 4-5 limes)
- 2 tablespoons honey or agave syrup
- 1 cup cold water
- Ice cubes
- Optional: mint leaves for garnish
Instructions
- Wash the guavas thoroughly, then cut them into quarters.
- In a blender, combine the guava quarters and cold water. Blend until the mixture is smooth and the guava is completely pureed.
- Strain the guava mixture through a fine-mesh sieve into a large jug to remove the seeds and pulp, ensuring a silky smooth juice.
- Add the fresh lime juice and honey to the strained guava juice. Stir well until the honey is fully dissolved, releasing a sweet-tart aroma.
- Fill glasses with ice cubes, then pour the guava lime juice over the ice. Stir gently to combine.
- For an extra touch of freshness, garnish each glass with mint leaves. Enjoy immediately!
Helpful Tips and Variations
– If fresh guavas are not available, you can use guava puree or nectar found in stores.
– For a low-sugar version, replace honey with a sugar substitute like stevia.
– Serving the juice in chilled glasses enhances its refreshing quality.
– For a special occasion, add a splash of sparkling water to each glass just before serving for a fizzy twist.
Storage and Substitutions
– Refrigerate any leftover guava lime juice in an airtight container for up to 2 days. Give it a good stir before serving again.
– Substitute lime with lemon juice for a slightly different citrus flavor, perfect when limes are out of season.
– Use maple syrup as an alternative sweetener for a unique flavor profile.
Pairings and Complements
– This refreshing drink pairs wonderfully with light snacks like cheese platters, fresh fruit, or a vibrant salad.
