Method
Prepare the fruit
- If using fresh guava, remove the ends, chop and blend with the water; strain through a fine sieve to remove all the seeds. If using strained pulp, mix it directly with the water.
Infuse
- Pour the apple juice and guava mixture into a pot. Add the cinnamon sticks, cloves and orange peel.
- Heat over low heat for 20 to 25 minutes without letting it boil vigorously, stirring occasionally to blend the flavors.
Serve
- Remove the spices and orange peel. Add the lemon juice, taste and sweeten with honey only if needed.
- Serve hot in cups, garnished with a thin slice of apple and a cinnamon stick.
