Description

This refreshing Guava White Tea Lemonade blends delicate white tea with tropical guava and bright lemon juice for a naturally sweet, antioxidant-rich drink. Light, cooling, and perfect for warm days, this homemade beverage is an elegant alternative to sugary sodas and café-style lemonades.

Ingredients
    For the White Tea Base
  • 4 cup water (filtered)
  • 2 tsp white tea leaves (or 2 white tea bags)
    • For the Guava Lemonade
  • 1 cup guava juice (fresh or 100% pure, unsweetened)
  • 0.5 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice
  • 3 tbsp honey or sugar (adjust to taste)
  • 1 cup cold water (for dilution)
    • For Serving
  • 1 cup ice cubes
  • 1 guava (thinly sliced, optional garnish)
  • 1 lemon (sliced, optional garnish)
  • Fresh mint leaves (optional)
Instructions
    Prepare the White Tea
  1. 1
    Heat 4 cups of water until it reaches about 90°C. Avoid boiling, as white tea is delicate and can turn bitter. Add white tea leaves or tea bags, cover, and let steep for 5 minutes. Strain the tea if using loose leaves and allow it to cool to room temperature.
    2. Sweeten the Tea
  2. 2
    While the tea is still slightly warm, stir in honey or sugar until fully dissolved. Sweetening at this stage ensures a smooth, balanced flavor throughout the drink.
    3. Add Guava Juice
  3. 3
    Pour the guava juice into the cooled white tea. Stir gently to combine. The guava adds natural sweetness and a tropical aroma that pairs beautifully with the mild tea.
    4. Mix in Lemon Juice
  4. 4
    Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and cold water. Stir well to balance the tartness and adjust dilution according to your preference.
    5. Chill and Serve
  5. 5
    Refrigerate the lemonade for at least 30 minutes or serve immediately over ice. Garnish with guava slices, lemon rounds, and mint leaves for a refreshing presentation.
Note

Use ripe pink guava for the best color and aroma if making fresh juice.

White tea contains less caffeine than green or black tea, making this drink suitable for afternoon enjoyment.

Store leftovers in a covered pitcher in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours.

For a sparkling version, replace cold water with chilled soda water just before serving.
