Guava tea Calories

Guava tea can provide antioxidant plant compounds and is a low-calorie drink when served without sweeteners. It has not been shown to cure or prevent a specific illness.

To make guava tea, rinse fresh guava leaves, add them to hot water, and let them steep briefly before straining. Taste as it brews, since a longer steep can make the infusion more bitter.
