Arrayan Agua Fresca - cooking recipe

Ingredients

1 basket satre guava, rinsed
1/3 cup sugar
4 cups water
limes or mint (to garnish)

Preparation

Add water, sugar and arrayan to a pot on medium heat. Stir so that sugar dissolves.
Cover and bring to a boil. Then reduce heat to low and let simmer until fruit cracks open and the water turns yellow, about 25 minutes.
Transfer to a stainless steel bowl and use a stand or hand mixer on medium to separate the fruit from seed. (A food processor will not work because of all the seeds.).
Place a sieve in a large bowl and pour mixture through, using a spatula to get all the juice out.
Discard seeds.
Cover and refrigerate for at least 2 hours. Pour into a pitcher with ice and serve with lime or mint as desired.
