Description
A refreshing Thai-style fruit drink made by blending ripe guavas with chilled water, straining out the seeds, and reblending with a touch of sugar for a silky-smooth, lightly sweet finish.
Ingredients
Scale
- 3–4 medium Thai guavas, chopped
- 2 cups chilled water
- 3 tablespoons sugar (adjust to taste)
- Optional: pinch of salt
- Optional: squeeze of lime
- Optional: crushed ice for serving
Instructions
- Rinse the guavas thoroughly under cold water and pat dry.
- Trim the ends, chop into small pieces, and add to a blender.
- Pour in the chilled water and blend to a coarse texture to help detach the seeds from the pulp.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a bowl; discard the seeds and coarse pulp.
- Return the strained liquid to the blender, add the sugar, and blend again until relatively smooth and lightly frothy.
- Taste and adjust sweetness; add a pinch of salt or a squeeze of lime if desired.
- Serve immediately over ice, or chill until cold.
Notes
- Choose guavas that are slightly soft and fragrant for the best natural sweetness.
- Strain thoroughly to remove all hard seeds for a smooth, pleasant texture.
- Sweetness varies with fruit ripeness—start with less sugar and add more to taste.
- Optional lime brightens flavor; a pinch of salt balances sweetness.
- For a creamier version, replace part of the water with coconut milk (then strain lightly as needed).
- Refrigerate leftovers in an airtight container for up to 2–3 days; stir before serving.
- Freeze in ice cube trays for quick slushies later.
