The irony? It is currently freezing in Malawi, and I have no business making juice. But it is guava season; and my partner, in a burst of fruity generosity, decided to buy about half a dozen guavas the day before he left for a work trip. So here I am, stuck with guavas I honestly can’t stand eating on their own. The solution? Guava juice. Quick, simple, and refreshingly #nofuss
