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)
Juices and Flavorings
- 1 cup guava juice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed, about 1/4-1/2 lemon, plus additional to taste)
Instructions
- Steep the 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 the delicate flavors.
- Cool the Tea: After the initial steeping, add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to the tea and let it continue to steep for an additional 10 minutes, which cools the tea and enhances the infusion.
- Mix the Lemonade: Stir in the guava juice and freshly squeezed lemon juice into the cooled tea mixture. Adjust sweetness by adding more honey or lemon juice to taste if desired.
- Serve Over Ice: Fill one large or two small glasses with a generous amount of ice cubes, then pour the iced guava white tea lemonade over the ice.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately and enjoy this refreshing and tropical iced beverage.
Notes
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best flavor and freshness.
- The optional honey can be omitted or substituted with another sweetener as preferred.
- Adjust the amount of ice to control the strength and chill factor of the tea.
- For an extra burst of flavor, garnish with lemon slices or a sprig of mint.
