If you love the flavor of guava juice but don't want to buy one that's loaded with artificial colors and sweeteners, making your own is a cheap and easy option. For a basic guava juice, all you'll need are red or pink guavas, sugar, and water. You could also blend up a flavorful guava juice that includes ginger, chili powder, lime juice, and mint. Or try a green guava juice that uses honey and lots of fresh lime.
Ingredients
Basic Guava Juice
1 cup (165 g) peeled and chopped red or pink guavas
1 teaspoon (4 g) sugar
1/2 cup (120 ml) cold water
Ice cubes
Makes 1 serving
Fragrant Spiced Guava Juice
3 cups (495 g) chopped red or pink guavas
1/4 teaspoon ground ginger
3 tablespoons (37.5 g) sugar
1/4 teaspoon red chili powder
1/4 teaspoon lime juice
2 cups (480 ml) cold, filtered water
1/4 teaspoon fresh mint
Ice cubes
Makes 2 servings
Guava Lime Juice
2 green guavas
1/2 cup (120 ml) water plus more to taste
1 lime
1 pinch lime zest
2 tablespoons (30 ml) honey
1 pinch salt
Sugar to taste
Makes 4 servings
Steps

1 Peel and chop the guavas. Wash several red or pink guavas. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. While you can leave the peel on, it will make the juice thicker and grittier. Chop the guavas into chunks. You should end up with 1 cup (165 g).
Use guavas that are soft and free of spots or blemishes.
2 Measure the ingredients into a blender. Put the chopped guava into a blender or food processor. Add 1 teaspoon (4 g) of sugar and 1/2 cup (120 ml) of cold water. Put the lid on the blender or processor.
You could substitute your favorite low-calorie or natural sweetener for the sugar.

3 Blend the guava mixture. Blitz the guava mixture just until the guava is smooth and mixed with the water. Avoid blending the mixture for too long or the seeds will become finely ground. This will make it difficult to strain them out and your guava juice will be gritty.[1]XResearch source
4 Strain the guava juice. Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl. For even smoother juice, line the strainer with cheesecloth. Scoop the guava mixture into the strainer and use a spoon to gently push the mixture through it.
You can discard the tiny, hard seeds that are left in the strainer.
5 Add ice cubes and serve the guava juice. Place several ice cubes into 2 small serving glasses. Pour the strained guava juice into the glasses and serve it immediately.

1 Wash, peel, and chop the guavas. Wash several soft, red or pink guavas. Use a vegetable peeler to remove the skin. While you can leave the peel on, it will make the juice thicker and grittier. Use a sharp knife to carefully chop the guavas so you get 3 cups (495 g).
2 Blend and strain the guava. Put the chopped guavas into a blender or food processor. Blitz the guavas until they're smooth and pulpy. Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and transfer the guava mixture into it. Stir the mixture so it passes through the strainer.
You can discard the seeds that are left in the strainer.
3 Shake the pulp with the seasonings. Transfer the strained guava juice to a cocktail shaker. Add 1/4 teaspoon of ground ginger, 3 tablespoons (37.5 g) of sugar, 1/4 teaspoon of red chili powder, 1/4 teaspoon of lime juice, and 1/4 teaspoon of fresh mint. Put the lid on the shaker and shake it for 10 to 20 seconds. This will combine the pulp with the seasonings.
If you don't have a cocktail shaker, you could just whisk the ingredients together in a bowl or measuring jug.
4 Stir in water and serve the drinks over ice. Put a handful of ice cubes into 2 serving glasses. Pour half of the guava mixture into each glass. Pour 1 cup (240 ml) of cold, filtered water into each glass. Stir the drinks so the guava and water combine. Serve the drinks right away.
If you like thicker guava juice, just use less filtered water.

1 Wash and chop the guavas. Wash 2 green guavas. Use a sharp knife to carefully chop the guavas into small cubes. Put the cubed guavas into a blender or food processor.[2]XResearch source
2 Blend the guavas with water. Pour 1/2 cup (120 ml) of water into the blender with the guavas. Blend the guava mixture just until the it's smooth. If you blend it too long, the seeds will become finely ground. This will make it difficult to strain them out and your guava juice will be gritty.[3]XResearch source
3 Strain and thin the guava puree. Set a fine mesh strainer over a bowl and scoop the guava mixture into it. Stir the mixture so it passes through the strainer. Discard the seeds left in the strainer and pour water into the strained guava puree according to your taste.[4]XResearch source
For example, if you like thick guava juice, you may only want to add a little more water. If you prefer a thinner guava juice, try adding another cup or 2 (240 to 480 ml) of water to the guava.
4 Stir in lime, honey, and salt. Zest a little bit of fresh lime zest into the strained guava juice. Squeeze the lime and add all of the juice to the juice along with 2 tablespoons (30 ml) of honey and 1 pinch of salt.[5]XResearch source
5 Taste and serve the guava lime juice. Taste the guava juice and add sugar according to your taste. Divide the juice between four serving glasses and serve them immediately.[6]XResearch source
For a colder drink, add a few ice cubes to each glass just before you serve the drinks.

Question Are guava leaves healthy to drink when boiled? Tracy Zollinger Dipl. OM, L.Ac., FABORM Licensed Herbalist & Acupuncturist Tracy Zollinger (she/her) is a Licensed Acupuncturist, Herbalist, and the Founder of Island Acupuncture in the San Francisco Bay Area. With over 15 years of experience, Tracy specializes in a holistic approach to reproductive health, fertility, and pre and post-natal care. Tracy creates comprehensive treatment plans using acupuncture, herbs, nutrition, and western labs. She holds a Master of Science in Traditional Chinese Medicine from the Academy of Chinese Culture and Health Sciences and is board certified in integrative reproductive medicine, with a focus on LGBTQIA specific needs. Tracy Zollinger Dipl. OM, L.Ac., FABORM Licensed Herbalist & Acupuncturist Expert Answer They could. Guava leaf tea is believed to support digestion and help your body absorb nutrients. In traditional Chinese medicine, guava leaves are often part of formulas aimed for treating issues like diarrhea or indigestion, and they may even help regulate blood sugar, which could be beneficial for people with pre-diabetes or diabetes. That said, using guava leaves alone might not give you the full benefits you’d get from combining them with other herbs. Think of it like baking with flour—it's just one ingredient in the recipe, not the whole bread. For more balanced results, herbal formulas are often recommended. If you do decide to try guava leaf tea, keep in mind it’s best for people managing digestion or blood sugar issues. But if you’re hoping it will counteract a sugary diet or quickly help with weight loss, it won’t be a magic fix because diet adjustments are still important. Also, if you’re sick with diarrhea, you have to avoid guava tea. Steeping dried guava leaves into a tea lets you absorb the benefits smoothly and is often gentler on the stomach than a pill. Thanks!
