→ Guava Lemonade Base

03 - 1 cup guava juice (100% pure, unsweetened preferred)

# How To Make It:

01 - Bring 4 cups of water to a boil, then remove from heat and let cool for 1 minute to prevent scalding the delicate white tea leaves.

03 - In a large pitcher, combine the guava juice, freshly squeezed lemon juice, simple syrup, and 1/2 cup cold water. Stir thoroughly until the syrup is fully incorporated.
04 - Pour the cooled white tea into the pitcher with the guava lemonade mixture. Mix well to ensure the flavors are evenly distributed throughout the beverage.
05 - Taste the lemonade and add additional simple syrup if needed, stirring well after each adjustment to dissolve completely.
06 - Refrigerate the guava white tea lemonade for at least 30 minutes to allow flavors to meld and the beverage to reach optimal serving temperature.
07 - Fill serving glasses with ice cubes, pour the chilled lemonade over the ice, and finish with fresh lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish.
