Tea Base
- 1/2 cup hot water
- 1 tsp honey (optional, plus additional to taste)

Additional Ingredients
- 1/2 cup ice cubes (plus additional for serving)
- 1 cup guava juice
- 1 tbsp lemon juice (freshly squeezed, about 1/4–1/2 lemon, plus additional to taste)
- Steep the Tea: In a large measuring cup, dissolve the honey (if using) in 1/2 cup of boiling water. Add the white tea bag and allow it to steep for 10 minutes to extract delicate flavors.
- Cool the Tea: After 10 minutes, add 1/2 cup of ice cubes to the tea and let it steep for an additional 10 minutes while it cools and the flavors develop further.
- Add Juices: Stir in the guava juice and freshly squeezed lemon juice into the cooled tea mixture for a fruity and citrus blend.
- Serve Chilled: Fill one large or two small glasses with a generous amount of ice cubes and pour the iced guava white tea lemonade over the ice. Adjust sweetness or lemon to taste if desired.
- Enjoy: Serve immediately as a refreshing, lightly sweetened beverage perfect for warm weather or anytime you crave a tropical twist on traditional iced tea.
Notes
- Honey is optional; adjust quantity according to your sweetness preference or omit for a lighter beverage.
- Use freshly squeezed lemon juice for the best bright citrus flavor.
- Guava juice can be substituted with another tropical fruit juice like passion fruit or pineapple if desired.
- Allowing the tea to steep longer with ice results in a naturally cooling infusion without dilution.
- For a stronger tea flavor, steep longer or add an additional tea bag.
