ComChili Guava Drink/Peru Pyala- Delicious , tangy and slightly spicy guava drink recipe
Peru Pyala/ Chili Guava drink is a popular drink made with ripe guava juice and red chilies. During summer we try to make so many refreshing drinks from fruits / vegetables and fresh flowers . Fresh juices are way better then having ready fizzy drinks which are just loaded with sugar and preservatives.
I tasted this delicious Peru pyala drink / Chilli Guava Drink at the famous yellow chili restaurant . We all loved it and then I tried to make it at home and it was exactly like the peru pyala drink we had at that restaurant.
How To make Chilli Guava Juice / Peru Pyala Drink
The recipe is simple. You can either make it with readymade/canned guava juice and add the spices and blend well OR you can blend chopped fresh guava pieces with some water and then strain the pulp and discard the seeds. Dilute the pulp with chilled water to make a medium thick guava juice.
The main flavor is from the addition of red chili powder, lemon juice, mint leaves, and some green chili gives a nick kick to the drink. Addition of sugar is optional as it depends on the quality of guava you are using and on your taste preference.
Rub the rim of the serving glass with a slice of lemon and then dip it in a mixture of salt, sugar and red chili powder which gives a nice look to the glass and you don’t need any garnish for the drink after this.
