Ingredients
  

  • Butterfly Pea Flowers: 2 tablespoons dried
  • Lemon Juice: From 1 lemon
  • Honey Or Agave Syrup: 2 tablespoons adjust to taste
  • Hot Water: 2 cups
  • Optional Additions: Mint leaves lemongrass, or ginger for added flavor

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.
