Agua de Guayaba (Guava Agua Fresca)
Agua de Guayaba (guava agua fresca) is a refreshing Mexican drink made by blending fresh guava fruit, water, and a touch of sweetener. This guava drink is perfect to make in the fall when fresh guavas are in abundance.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 10 guavas small to medium size
- 6 cups water
- 1/4 cup agave nectar or sugar, to taste
Instructions
- Cut off ends of guavas and slice in half.
- Working in batches, blend with 3 cups water and sweetener on medium setting for 60 seconds.
- Strain through a fine-mesh sieve into large pitcher. You may need to agitate the mixture to let the juice through, avoid pushing through the pulp to keep juice light in consistency. Compost or discard seeds and pulp.
- Stir in remaining water.
- Chill and serve over ice. Garnish with sliced fresh slice of guava, strawberry, or fresh herbs such as rosemary or mint.
A Note from Lola
FOR A VARIATION ON AGUA DE GUAYABA: add a few strawberries to the blender along with your guayabas. In Oaxaca, I've tasted a mix of both agua de guayaba and agua de Tamarindo and it was delicious!
