Some tips when making pink guava tea recipes
It can be an interesting and delightful experience to try some pink guava tea recipes. There are some tips to create the most fragrant and delicious drinks. Firstly, when choosing pink guavas, remember to select the fresh, ripe, and fragrant ones, which are slightly soft when pressed. Fresh guavas have a light green, slightly yellow, and shiny skin. If the fruit is not ripe, it will make your drinks astringent.
In addition, because pink guavas are naturally sweet, you should be careful when adding sweeteners. It is better to start with a small amount and gradually adjust it to suit your taste. Besides, some herbs like basil or mint can give a cooling touch to the tropical flavors of pink guavas. With the tea base, black and green teas are quite strong, so you should steep them slightly to avoid overpowering the taste of the guava.
