FAQs
Q: Can I use regular tea instead of white tea?
A: Absolutely! Black or green tea can work just as well, but white tea gives a lighter flavor.
Q: Is it okay to make this drink ahead of time?
A: Yes! Just prepare everything but the ice, then chill it in the fridge. Add ice right before serving for that refreshing touch.
Q: Can I use bottled guava juice?
A: Sure! Just check the ingredients to find a juice that’s not too sweet. Fresh juice will give you a fresher taste, but bottled is totally fine for convenience.
