  • Pitcher or jar

Ingredients
 

US Customary - Metric
  • 10 fresh guavas
  • 7-8 cups water
  • 6 tablespoons cane sugar
  • Ice

Instructions
 

  • Rinse the guavas, then cut the ends off and slice them in half. Using a small spoon, scoop out the seeds (save what you scoop out as a snack).
  • Add the guava halves to a blender with 4 cups of water and sweetener of choice (cane sugar, agave, etc).
  • Blend on high until no guava chunks remain and the mixture is smooth. Taste and adjust sweetener to your preferences.
  • Pour the mixture into a jar or pitcher. Add the rest of the water and stir. Transfer to your fridge to chill, or serve immediately over ice. Happy drinking!

Notes

Seed the guavas: To prevent chunks in your drink, make sure to scoop out the seeds before blending.
Go sugarless: If you want a healthier alternative, try making your guava water with sweeteners like stevia or monk fruit.
Add more fruits: Switch things up by adding in fruits like strawberries, limes, grapefruit, mangoes, or pineapple.
Use coconut water: Replace the plain water with an equivalent amount of coconut water for an even more hydrating and tropical-tasting agua fresca.
Removing the ends helps eliminate any residual stem or blossom ends, which can be bitter.
Adjusting the sweetness after blending ensures the sugar is completely dissolved and evenly distributed.
