Instructions
Step 1: Infusing The Butterfly Pea
Boil water and pour it over the dried butterfly pea flowers in the teapot. Let it steep for about 5-7 minutes. You’ll notice a deep blue infusion – the first act of our color-changing play.
Step 2: The Magic Of pH
Pour the blue tea into cups. Now, add a squeeze of lemon juice. Watch the acidic lemon juice interact with the tea, creating a purple-pink hue. This change is due to the pH level alteration in the tea.
Step 3: Sweetening The Potion
Add honey or agave syrup to taste. Stir gently to blend the sweetener, enhancing the flavor and completing the magical transformation.
Step 4: Optional Enhancements
For those who love experimentation, add mint leaves, lemongrass, or a slice of ginger during the brewing process. These additions impart unique flavors and aromas, making each cup a personalized experience.
