🧂 Ingredienser
- 6 medium Ripe Guavas(Look for guavas that are fragrant and yield slightly to gentle pressure. Pink-fleshed varieties are traditional and provide the characteristic color.)

- optional Ice Cubes(For serving.)
👨🍳 Fremgangsmåde

Prepare the guavas: Wash the guavas thoroughly. Trim off the blossom and stem ends. Cut the guavas into quarters. For a smoother juice, you can peel them, but it's not strictly necessary as the skin adds nutrients and flavor. Remove any seeds if desired, though blending them in is common and adds to the texture.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 2
Blend the mixture: Place the guava pieces into a blender. Add the 3 cups of cold water. Blend on high speed until the mixture is smooth and no large chunks of guava remain, about 1-2 minutes.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 3
Strain the juice: Pour the blended mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or a cheesecloth-lined colander set over a large bowl or pitcher. Use a spoon or spatula to press down on the solids, extracting as much liquid as possible. Discard the pulp and seeds left in the sieve.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Sweeten and chill: Add sugar to the strained guava juice, starting with 1/4 cup. Stir well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Taste and add more sugar if needed, stirring and tasting until it reaches your desired sweetness. For immediate enjoyment, you can add a few ice cubes to the pitcher and stir until chilled.
⏱️ 3 minutes - 5
Serve: Pour the chilled Jugo de Guayaba into glasses. Serve immediately, optionally with extra ice cubes.
