A simple, refreshing herbal drink made with butterfly pea flowers and citrus. This naturally color-changing beverage shifts from deep blue to purple and offers a light, calming experience perfect for daily hydration.
Add dried butterfly pea flowers to a cup or teapot and pour hot water over them.
Let the mixture steep for 5–7 minutes until the water turns deep blue.
Strain the liquid to remove the flowers if needed.
Add fresh lemon or lime juice and watch the color change from blue to purple.
Add honey if desired, then serve warm or over ice.
Notes
Avoid over-steeping to prevent bitterness. Adjust citrus and sweetness to taste. You can serve it warm or iced, and enhance it with mint, ginger, or sparkling water for variations.
