Ingredients
Scale
- 2 cups filtered water
- 2 tablespoons loose leaf white tea or 2 tea bags
- ½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (from 2–3 lemons)
- 1 cup guava juice
- ½ cup honey or agave syrup (or to taste)
- 2 cups cold filtered water
Instructions
- Start by boiling 2 cups of filtered water. Once it reaches a boil, remove it from heat and add 2 tablespoons of loose leaf white tea or 2 tea bags. Let it steep for about 5 minutes.
- While the tea is steeping, squeeze the juice of 2-3 fresh lemons into a measuring cup to yield about ½ cup of lemon juice. Measure out 1 cup of guava juice.
- In a large pitcher, combine the guava juice and lemon juice. Stir gently to mix them together.
- Add your desired sweetener to the guava and lemon mixture, starting with ½ cup of honey or agave syrup and adjusting according to taste. Stir until fully dissolved.
- Once the white tea has steeped, strain it to remove the leaves and add the brewed tea to the pitcher. Stir the mixture well to combine all the flavors.
- Pour in an additional 2 cups of cold filtered water to dilute the mixture to your preferred strength. Taste and adjust sweetness or acidity if necessary.
- Refrigerate your Guava White Tea Lemonade for at least 1 hour to let the flavors meld together. Serve over ice, garnished with lemon slices or mint leaves if desired.
