Ingredients
Tea Base
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1 tsp honey (optional, plus additional to taste)
- 1 bag white tea
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (plus additional for serving)
Juice Mix
- 1 cup guava juice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed, about 1/4-1/2 lemon, plus additional to taste)
Instructions
- Dissolve Honey and Steep Tea: In a large measuring cup, dissolve the honey (if using) in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Add the white tea bag and allow it to steep for 10 minutes to extract delicate flavors.
- Cool Tea with Ice: After 10 minutes, add 1/2 cup of ice cubes directly into the steeped tea to cool it further and allow the tea to steep for an additional 10 minutes, enhancing the chilled flavor.
- Add Juices: Mix in the guava juice and freshly squeezed lemon juice to the cooled tea. Stir well to combine all the flavors evenly.
- Serve: Fill 1 large or 2 small glasses generously with ice and pour the guava white tea lemonade over the ice. Adjust sweetness or lemon to taste and serve immediately.
Notes
- For a sweeter drink, add more honey to taste.
- Use fresh lemon juice for the best flavor impact.
- White tea is delicate; avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness.
- Chill the guava juice beforehand for an even colder beverage.
- This recipe is easily doubled or tripled for more servings.
