Ingredients

• 450 g ripe guavas (6–8), ends trimmed, quartered
• 1.5 l cold water
• 100 g Sugar
• 1 tbsp lime juice (optional)
• Ice

Method

1. Blend the guavas with 500 ml of the water until completely smooth.
2. Pour through a fine sieve into a jug, pressing with a spoon to push the pulp through and leave the hard seeds behind.
3. Stir in the rest of the water and the sugar until dissolved. Add lime juice and more sugar to taste.
4. Chill and serve over plenty of ice, stirring before pouring.

Tips

• Guavas are ripe when they smell strongly floral and give slightly when pressed.
