CREATE YOUR BLUE BUTTERFLY LEMONADE! Step 1: Create one gallon of blue butterfly tea in a glass container by adding 1/2 tsp blue butterfly pea powder to 1 gallon of water. If you prefer a darker blue tea, you can use up to 1 tsp of powder. (For optimal mixing, add 1/4 tsp blue butterfly powder into 1 cup of cold water first. Stir well. Then, pour the mixture through a strainer into the gallon of water.) Step 2: Pour 1 cup of blue butterfly tea into a glass. Step 3: Create color-changing Lemon Mixture in a separate small glass container. To the small glass container, add: · 5 tsp Lemon Juice · 2 teaspoons Honey or Rice Sugar (Be sure to use a light colored honey. Darker honeys will cause your final drink to turn purple, rather than pink. Black honeys will cause your final drink to turn grey, rather than pink.) · For minty taste - add a few mint leaves (or in Malaysia - we normally steep it with Pandan leaves for the aromatic flavour) . Add chia seeds for fibre you want in you · Pinch of Icelandic or Himalayan Salt Stir well. Step 4: Slowly pour the Lemon Mixture into the glass of blue tea and watch the colors change before your eyes. BUY BLUE BUTTERFLY POWDER NOW > Pro Tip 1: For extra style points, freeze some blue butterfly tea into ice cubes before creating your Blue Butterfly Lemonade.
