Guava leaves aren’t just for shade anymore! They can be brewed into a delicious and potentially health-boosting tea. Ready to sip on sunshine? Here’s how to make guava leaf tea:

Ingredients:

  • 10 fresh guava leaves (or 2-3 tablespoons dried leaves)
  • 1 ½ cups water
  • Honey or sweetener to taste (optional)

Method:

  1. Wash it Up: Give those guava leaves a good rinse with clean water.
  2. Leaf It to the Water: Place the leaves in a saucepan and pour in the water.
  3. Bring on the Boil: Heat the mixture on medium heat until it reaches a rolling boil.
  4. Simmer Down: Reduce heat to low, cover the pan, and simmer for 10-15 minutes. The longer you simmer, the stronger the tea will be.
  5. Strain Away: Pour the tea through a strainer to remove the leaves.
  6. Sweeten Up (Optional): If desired, add a touch of honey or your favorite sweetener for a sweeter taste.
  7. Sip and Enjoy! Relax and savor your cup of tropical tea.

Tips:

  • Fresh vs. Dried: Fresh leaves will have a stronger flavor, but dried leaves are a good alternative if fresh aren’t available.
  • Spice it Up: Feeling adventurous? Add a few cloves, cinnamon sticks, or ginger for a different flavor profile.
  • Iced Tea anyone?: Let the tea cool completely, then pour it over ice for a refreshing iced tea.
  • Storage: Store leftover tea in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 2 days.
