Loading...| 1/4 cup Butterfly Pea Flower | |
| Sugar or Simple Syrup | |
| Prepared Lemonade |
| 1. | First, steep the Butterfly Pea Flower: place the Butterfly Pea Flower in the FORLIFE French Press. Fill with boiling water. Steep for 15 minutes and allow to cool completely then chill. The Butterfly Pea Flower will be a dark indigo blue liquid. You can sweeten the Butterfly Pea Flower tea at this point if desired. |
| 2. | To create the Magical Lemonade: Fill the FORLIFE Lucent Pitcher 1/2 with ice. Pour prepared lemonade to fill the pitcher 3/4 full. Slowly pour in the chilled Butterfly Pea Flower tea into the pitcher. As the blue Butterfly Pea Flower tea hits the lemonade, the tea will turn violet. |
| 3. | Alternately, you can prepare the drinks in separate glasses using the same procedure: ice, then 3/4 of the way with lemonade, then top the glass with Butterfly Pea Flower. Magic. |
