CLAIRE’S FRESH GUAVA DRINK
Ingredients
20 – 25 fresh small guavas
1 stick of cinnamon
Juice of 1 lime
2 tbsp honey (we used Herbwai Honey)
Few dashes Angostura bitters
Water
Directions
- Cut the guavas in half and place in a large pot.
- Add the cinnamon stick.
- Add enough water to cover the guavas. Bring to a boil and let cook on high heat for 5 minutes. Reduce the heat and let simmer for 15 – 20 minutes or until the guavas are tender. Remove from heat, cover and leave to steep overnight.
- Stir the mixture and remove the cinnamon stick. In batches strain the mixture, pressing the mixture to ensure all the flavour of the guavas are extracted.
- Add the juice to a pitcher. Mix in the lime juice, honey and bitters. Taste and adjust sweetness if necessary. Add a little more water if necessary. Serve over ice. Refrigerate the remaining juice.
