Introduction:
Everyone loves the sweet, tropical taste of guava, but few realize that guava leaves are just as powerful—especially when brewed into a soothing tea. Rich in antioxidants, anti-inflammatory compounds, and antimicrobial properties, guava leaf tea is an age-old remedy with a modern twist. This recipe brings the forgotten benefits of guava leaves back into the spotlight.
Ingredients:
1 handful of fresh guava leaves (or 2 tbsp dried guava leaves)
2 cups of water
1 tsp honey (optional)
1 slice of ginger (optional)
1 tsp lemon juice (optional)
Instructions:
Rinse guava leaves thoroughly to remove dirt or residue.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small saucepan.
Add the guava leaves (and ginger, if using), then reduce heat and let simmer for 10 minutes.
Strain the tea into a mug.
Stir in honey and lemon juice if desired.
