Scale
Tea Base
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1 tsp honey (optional, plus additional to taste)
- 1 bag white tea
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (plus additional for serving)
Fruit Juices
- 1 cup guava juice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed, about 1/4–1/2 lemon, plus additional to taste)
Instructions
- Dissolve Honey and Steep Tea: In a large measuring cup, dissolve the optional honey in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Add the white tea bag and allow it to steep for 10 minutes to extract a delicate and subtle flavor.
- Cool and Continue Steeping: After the initial steeping, add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to the tea and let it continue to steep for another 10 minutes, allowing the tea to chill and the flavors to develop further.
- Mix Juices: Once the tea is properly steeped and chilled, stir in the guava juice and freshly squeezed lemon juice. Adjust sweetness with additional honey and tartness with extra lemon juice if desired.
- Serve: Fill one large or two small glasses generously with ice cubes, then pour the iced guava white tea lemonade over the ice. Serve immediately and enjoy a refreshing tropical drink.
Notes
- Adjust honey quantity to your preferred sweetness level or omit for a naturally less sweet drink.
- Freshly squeezed lemon juice gives the best bright flavor, but bottled lemon juice can be used in a pinch.
- Guava juice can be substituted with other tropical juices like passion fruit or mango for different flavor variations.
- For a stronger tea flavor, steep the tea for a few minutes longer before adding ice.
- This recipe is best served immediately but can be stored in the refrigerator for up to 24 hours; stir before serving.
