Below’s how you can prepare this drink step by step and discover all it can do for you.

Step 1: Choose fresh or dried guava leaves

If you have access to a guava tree, pick young, clean leaves that are free from pesticides. If not, dried guava leaves from a trusted source work just as well. Always rinse fresh leaves thoroughly under running water.

Step 2: Boil the water

Bring about 2 cups (500 ml) of water to a boil in a small pot. Using filtered water is recommended to keep the infusion pure and free from unwanted chemicals.

Step 3: Add the leaves

Once the water is boiling, add a handful of fresh leaves (about 5–7) or 1 tablespoon of dried leaves. Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 10–15 minutes. This allows the beneficial compounds to be fully released into the water.

Step 4: Let it steep

Turn off the heat and let the tea sit for another 5 minutes. This step enhances both the flavor and the concentration of nutrients.

Step 5: Strain and serve

Strain the liquid into a cup, removing all the leaves. You can enjoy it warm or let it cool slightly depending on your preference.

Step 6: Optional additions

For a more pleasant taste, you can add a little honey, lemon, or a slice of ginger. These additions not only improve flavor but may also enhance the tea’s soothing effects.
