Ingredients:
- 1 cup of water
- 1 teaspoons of dried butterfly pea flowers
- Honey or sugar (optional, to taste)
- Lemon juice (optional, for color change and taste)
Instruction:
- Bring 1 cup of water to a boil.
- Once the water reaches a boil, remove it from the heat. Add 1-2 teaspoons of dried butterfly pea flowers to the hot water.
- Let the flowers steep in the hot water for about 3-5 minutes, depending on how strong you want the flavor to be. The water will turn a vibrant blue color.
- After steeping, strain the tea into a cup to remove the flowers.
- Add honey or sugar to taste if you prefer a sweeter tea.
- For a magical color change and a hint of citrus flavor, add a few drops of lemon juice. The tea will turn from blue to purple.
Serving Suggestions:
- Blue tea can be enjoyed hot or iced.
- For iced blue tea, let the tea cool to room temperature, then pour it over ice cubes.
- You can also garnish with a slice of lemon or lime for added flavor and visual appeal.
