Ingredients and Substitutes

• Guava Juice – Adds a nice sweetness to this drink. You can find it at your local grocery store or order online from Amazon. Alternatively, you can use guava-flavored juice.
• White Tea – Starbucks uses Teavana iced white tea, but you can use any white tea in this recipe.
• Sugar – Starbucks uses liquid cane sugar, but I used regular granulated sugar.
• Lemonade – It’s optional and you can make your drink with or without lemonade. I find lemonade takes this drink to a whole new level with its fruity and slightly tangy flavors.
• Ice cubes

How to Make Iced Guava WhiteTea at Home

3. In a large jar, add chilled white tea.

4. Pour in guava juice and lemonade.

5. Fill a glass 3/4 full with ice.

Iced Guava White Tea Lemonade

At Starbucks, you can order this drink with or without lemonade. I highly recommend adding lemonade to your beverage as it adds so much fruity flavor and tastes pretty amazing. If you don’t have lemonade, you can omit this ingredient and make guava white tea.

Tips for the Best StarbucksCopycat Guava White Tea

• Make the tea ahead of time so you don’t need to wait for the tea to cool down.
• Add sugar to the tea when it’s hot so that it can dissolve properly.
• Make sure your white tea is completely chilled before mixing it with guava juice.
• You can customize the sweetness of your drink. Taste and add more sugar if needed.
• For a healthier guava white tea, you can sweeten your drink with Stevia.

Review of Starbucks Iced GuavaWhite Tea

The lemonade version definitely is more popular than the regular guava white tea. Some people mentioned that the version without lemonade is not sweet enough, but you can add more sugar to bring out the best flavor of this drink.

Variations

• You can use black tea for the iced guava black tea recipe.
• Add coconut milk for a creamier texture. Note that the color will become softer and lighter with the coconut milk. Coconut milk beverage works better than canned coconutmilk, which contains solid chunky lumps of the white stuff.
