Agua De Guayaba

Ingredients

• 6 to 7 fresh ripe guavas
• 4 cups water
• ⅓ cup white sugar
• 1 tablespoon fresh lime juice (optional)

Steps

1. 1

   Start by washing the guavas thoroughly. Then, remove the ends and slice them in halves.

2. 2

   Place the guava into a blender and add the 4 cups water. Blend until you have a smooth puree.

3. 3

   Using a fine mesh strainer placed over a large container, strain the puree to remove the seeds. Transfer the juice to a pitchen, add the ⅓ cup sugar and mix until it dissolves.

4. 4

   Squeeze fresh lime juice if using any, mix and taste. If it needs more sugar, add a little bit at the time to your liking.

5. 5

   Refrigerate the Agua de Guayaba until it's well chilled. Serve in a glass with ice and enjoy!
