After a long absence, for health reasons, I return to my beloved AMAZING DRINKS community. As some of you may know, in the month of July I had COVID19, (once again), and I know that I got sick from this virus not only because of the symptoms, but also because I once again lost my sense of smell, which I have been recovering very, very slowly. This inability to perceive smells discourages me from making recipes, even when cooking at home, because I do not perceive or taste food properly. However, today in the morning I went out into the backyard, and I could slightly smell the aroma of the guavas that grow on my tree, and I decided to take some (although not all of them were 100% ripe), to make this delicious juice.

Luego de una larga ausencia, por motivos de salud, regreso a mi amada comunidad AMAZING DRINKS. Como algunos de ustedes sabrán, en el mes de Julio tuve COVID19, (una vez más), y sé que enfermé de ese virus no sólo por los síntomas, sino porque otra vez perdí el olfato, el cual he ido recuperando muy, pero que muy lentamente. Esta incapacidad de percibir los olores, me desanima para hacer recetas, incluso para cocinar en casa, porque no percibo ni saboreo apropiadamente los alimentos. Sin embargo, hoy en la mañana salí al solar, y pude sentir levemente, el aroma de las guayabas que crecen en mi árbol, y decidí tomar algunas (aunque no todas estaban 100% maduras), para hacer este delicioso jugo.

Both passion fruit and guava are fruits with many vitamins and great flavor. In this case, I must note that the guavas that I harvest on my backyard are yellow, not red, so their flavor and smell are more pronounced, with a great resemblance to pineapple, that is, they are guavas with an acid, citrus flavor. I did not grow this passion fruit that I used to make the recipe in my plot, but my husband bought it at the greengrocer's, however, it was quite good. I believe that both fruits complement each other and also provide many nutrients to our body in this delicious PASSION FRUIT - GUAVA JUICE. With that said, let's get to the recipe!

• Preparation time: This is a very simple recipe, as long as you have all the ingredients ready, so it will only require 5 minutes to make it.

• Servings: 1 liter of juice.

• 700 ml of drinking water.

• 150 grams of guavas, washed and disinfected (3 medium guavas).

• 30 grams of passion fruit pulp (1 large passion fruit).

• Sweetener to your liking. I used 75 grams of white sugar.

• Ice cubes (optional).

• Jugs, strainer, stirrer or manual whisk, teaspoon, knife, measuring cups, glass, blender, etc.

• Tiempo de preparación: Esta es una receta muy simple, siempre y cuando tengas todos los ingredientes ya listos, así que sólo requerirás 5 minutos para hacerla.

• Raciones: 1 litro de jugo.

• 700 ml de agua potable.

• 150 gramos de guayabas, lavadas y desinfectadas (3 guayabas medianas).

• 30 gramos de pulpa de parchita (1 parchita grande).

• Endulzante a tu gusto. Yo utilicé 75 gramos de azúcar blanca.

• Cubos de hielo (opcional).

• Jarras, colador, removedor o batidor manual, cucharilla, cuchillo, tazas medidoras, vaso, licuadora, etc.

It is essential to wash and disinfect the fruits. I did it previously, including the guavas that I picked from my tree. Then I proceed to chop them up and place them in the blender glass.

Next I open the passion fruit and check that it has enough pulp inside, which I extract with a teaspoon (including the white membrane that contains the seeds and pulp), and I also place it in the blender glass. I reserve the peel, since with it another juice can be made, or it can also serve as food for Mr. Morrocoy and his family.

I add 500 ml of water and blend. It is ideal to blend for half a minute, stop and blend again for another half minute, since this way the seeds of the passion fruit are not ground, which are relatively soft, and can give the juice a sandy texture. Here I blended a little more because I was taking the photos. Then I proceed to strain, and discard the seeds that remain in the sieve.

I put the resulting mixture back into the blender glass, add the sugar and an additional 200 ml of water. Blend for a minute to dissolve the sugar and homogenize the mixture. The juice is ready.

I serve this delicious juice in a tall glass with ice cubes. Its flavor is excellent, powerful. Passion fruit predominates over guava, however, it softens and complements it. It really is an exquisite juice, which I could smell a little more and taste better. It only remains to say: Cheers!
