This ancient herbal remedy, known as Miracle Leaf Wellness Tea, is a time-tested infusion made from guava leaves—a humble yet powerful botanical treasure. Revered in traditional medicine across Asia, Africa, and Latin America, guava leaves are packed with antioxidants, flavonoids, and anti-inflammatory compounds that offer a wide spectrum of health benefits.
Whether you’re managing diabetes, struggling with high blood pressure, dealing with chronic pain, or simply looking to boost your circulation and heart health, this tea offers a natural, side-effect-free solution. With consistent use, many have reported improved energy, reduced sugar cravings, and even relief from joint and muscle discomfort.
Ingredients:
- 10–12 fresh guava leaves (or 1 tablespoon dried guava leaves)
- 3 cups filtered water
- 1 teaspoon raw honey (optional, for taste)
- 1 slice of fresh ginger (optional, for added anti-inflammatory benefits)
- 1 teaspoon lemon juice (optional, for vitamin C and flavor)
🥣 Instructions:
- Harvest and Clean the Leaves
If using fresh guava leaves, rinse them thoroughly under cool running water to remove any dirt or residue. Pat dry with a clean towel. - Boil the Water
In a medium saucepan, bring 3 cups of filtered water to a boil. - Add the Leaves and Simmer
Once the water reaches a rolling boil, add the guava leaves (and ginger slice if using). Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for 10–15 minutes. This slow simmering helps extract the beneficial compounds from the leaves. - Strain the Tea
After simmering, remove the pot from heat and allow it to cool slightly. Strain the tea into a cup or teapot using a fine mesh strainer. - Flavor and Serve
Add honey and lemon juice if desired. These not only enhance the flavor but also contribute additional health benefits. Enjoy warm or chilled. - Storage
You can store leftover tea in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently before drinking or enjoy it cold as a refreshing herbal tonic.
