2ripe guava(we used white guava but you can use pink guava)
4cupsice
Additional cold water
Instructions
Juice your lemons and strain out the seeds to make 1 ¼ cups fresh lemon juice.
Add the fresh lemon juice, the sugar, 1 cup water, and the lemon slices to a small saucepan and heat over medium-low heat until the sugar is dissolved and the lemon slices start to turn translucent (about 12-15 minutes).
Don't skip the lemon slices in the lemon/sugar mixture! The rind will not make this lemonade bitter but contributes lemon oil which adds wonderful flavor to this lemonade.
While the lemon juice and sugar is cooking, quarter a whole ripe guava and blend/process it with 1 cup of water.
Pour the guava mixture through a metal strainer and discard the seeds. Set aside the liquid (it will be cloudy).
Once the lemon juice has finished cooking, stir in the guava juice (this will look cloudy because of the guava).
Add 4 cups (1 quart) of ice to a 2 quart pitcher. Add the lemon/guava mixture over the ice and add enough cold water to top this off to 2 quarts.
Serve cold with lemon slices to garnish your glass. Enjoy!
