INGREDIENTS
  

  • 6-8 ripe guavas: Washed and cut into quarters
  • 4 cups water: To help with blending.
  • 2 limes: Halved, seeds removed, and freshly squeezed.
  • 1 inch of ginger: Peeled and grated or chopped (optional but adds a refreshing zing).
  • Sugar to taste: Adjust based on the sweetness of the guavas.
  • Ice cubes: For serving.
  • Guava slices or lime wedges: For garnish (optional).

INSTRUCTIONS
 

Prepare the Ingredients:

  • Wash and peel the guavas.
  • Cut the guavas into quarters. Remove any spoiled or blemished parts.
  • If using, peel and grate or finely chop the ginger.
  • Wash the limes, cut them in half, and squeeze out the juice (remove the seeds).
  • Prepare sugar for sweetening, if needed.

Blend the Ingredients:

  • Place the guava quarters into the blender.
  • Add the fresh lime juice. If using ginger, add the grated or chopped ginger at this stage.
  • Pour in the water to help with blending.
  • Blend the mixture until smooth, ensuring that all the guavas and ginger are fully broken down.

Strain the Juice:

  • Pour the blended guava mixture through a fine mesh strainer into a large bowl. Use a spoon to press down and extract as much juice as possible.
  • Discard the seeds and pulp remaining in the strainer.

Adjust the Consistency (Optional):

  • Taste the juice and adjust the sweetness by adding sugar if necessary. You can also add more lime juice if you prefer a tangier taste.
  • If the juice is too thick, add a little more water to achieve the desired consistency.

Chill and Serve:

  • Transfer the guava juice to a pitcher and refrigerate for at least 1 hour to chill (optional).
  • When ready to serve, pour the juice over ice cubes in glasses.
  • Garnish with guava slices or lime wedges, if desired.

NOTES

●  For the best results, use fully ripe guavas.
●  The sweetness of guava can vary depending on its ripeness. If your guavas are already very sweet, you may not need to add much sugar, or any at all. Taste the juice before adding any sweetener to ensure you don’t over-sweeten it.
