Recipe Highlights

Refreshing and Fruity: Combines the flavors of guava, lemonade, and black tea.
Easy to Make: Simple steps, minimal ingredients.
Perfect for Summer: Ideal for hot days and summer gatherings.
Non-Alcoholic: Suitable for all ages.
Versatile: Can be customized with other fruit infusions like strawberry lemonade.

Ingredient Notes

Guava Juice: Provides a sweet, tropical flavor that pairs wonderfully with the tartness of the lemonade. Look for 100% guava juice for the best taste, or make your own by blending fresh guava and straining the pulp.
Black Tea: Adds a rich, robust taste to balance the sweetness. Use high-quality loose-leaf black tea or your favorite black tea bags.
Lemonade: Freshly squeezed lemon juice is best for that perfect tang. If you’re short on time, you can use store-bought lemonade, but homemade is always more flavorful.
Sweetener: Honey, sugar, or even agave syrup can be used. Adjust the amount based on your sweetness preference.
Ice: Keeps your drink chilled and refreshing. Use crushed ice or ice cubes, depending on your preference.
Garnishes: Optional, but lemon slices, guava chunks, or even fresh mint leaves can add a beautiful finishing touch to your drink.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Brew the Black Tea: Start by boiling 2 cups of water. Add 2 black tea bags and let them steep for 5-7 minutes. Remove the tea bags and let the tea cool.
Prepare the Lemonade: In a pitcher, mix 1 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice with 1 cup of water. Sweeten to taste with honey or sugar, stirring until dissolved.
Mix the Guava Juice: Pour 1 cup of guava juice into the lemonade mixture. Stir well.
Combine Everything: Once the black tea has cooled, add it to the guava lemonade mixture. Stir to combine all the flavors.
Chill: Fill glasses with ice and pour the guava black lemonade tea over the ice. Garnish with lemon slices or guava chunks if desired.

Storing and Preserving

Store any leftover Guava Black Lemonade Tea in the refrigerator. It’s best to keep it in an airtight container or a pitcher with a lid to maintain its freshness.

This summer drink should stay fresh for up to 3 days.

Before serving again, give it a good stir to mix any settled ingredients and ensure the flavors are well blended.

Tips for Serving Guava Lemonade At Parties

If you’re planning to serve this Guava Black Lemonade Tea at your next bash, I’ve got some fun and handy tips to make sure it’s a total hit:

Large Batch Preparation: First off, you’re gonna want to make a big batch. Trust me, this stuff is so good, it’ll go fast. Double or triple the recipe, and you’ll have plenty to keep everyone’s cups filled.
Fancy Ice Cubes: Add some pizzazz with flavored ice cubes. Freeze guava juice or lemonade in ice cube trays with a tiny slice of guava or a mint leaf in each. These not only keep your drink cold but also add a nice touch of flavor as they melt.
Fun Garnishes: Go all out with the garnishes. Think slices of fresh guava, lemon wedges, or even a sprig of mint. Not only do they look pretty, but they also give an extra flavor boost.
Serve in Style: Presentation matters, girlss! Use clear glass pitchers and glasses to show off the beautiful color of the drink. Mason jars are a cute option too and add a bit of rustic charm.
Self-Serve Station: Set up a self-serve drink station. Arrange your pitchers, glasses, fun straws, and garnishes so guests can mix and match. It’s interactive and lets people customize their drinks.
Keep It Cool: If you’re hosting outdoors, keep your pitchers in a large bucket filled with ice. This keeps your drink chilled and refreshing throughout the event.
Add Variety: While Guava Black Lemonade Tea is the star, consider offering a couple of other flavored lemonades or iced teas. Maybe a homemade strawberry lemonade or a classic sun tea to give guests options.
