Ingredients

Instructions

  1. Wash the guavas, trim the ends and cut them into quarters.
  2. Cook the guavas in the water for 5 minutes over medium heat to soften them.
  3. Mash the mixture with a fork, then blend it finely.
  4. Press the juice through a fine sieve to remove the seeds.
  5. Add the sugar and lime juice, let it cool, then serve with ice cubes.

Variations and tips

No-cook version. Blend the raw guavas with the water, then strain: the flavour is fresher.
