Strain the juice into a large bowl and thicken with the cornflour mixed with a tablespoon or so of cold water. Add the milks and stir thoroughly to mix. Check for sweetness and add sugar about a tablespoon at a time, stir it in and recheck until the correct level is reached.

About this recipe:
If you are lucky enough to have access to tree-ripened fruit, the flavour is said to be superb. When able to obtain them, the fresh guavas I have been able to buy locally have been very expensive and not very flavour-full.
