Guava leaves might just be one of nature’s best-kept secrets when it comes to natural remedies. Often overshadowed by the fruit itself, these leaves are packed with nutrients and bioactive compounds that can offer a wide range of health benefits. Boiling them into a tea is a simple and effective way to enjoy what they have to offer. Here’s how you can prepare it and what benefits you can expect.
Preparing Guava Leaf Tea
To make guava leaf tea, you’ll need fresh or dried guava leaves. If you’re using fresh leaves, rinse them under cold water to remove any dirt or residue. Here’s a simple method to prepare the tea:
- Boil the Leaves: Add about 10-15 guava leaves to 1 liter of boiling water. Let them boil for about 10 minutes. This process helps to extract the active substances contained in the leaves.
- Strain and Serve: Remove from heat and let the tea cool down to a comfortable temperature. Strain the mixture to remove the leaves, and your guava leaf tea is ready to drink. You can enjoy it warm or chill it in the refrigerator to drink cold.
