Made with homegrown blue pea (butterfly) flowers, this lemonade has the added goodness of blue pea flower tea, which is known for its calming properties.

The reason why I call this magic lemonade is because the blue pea tea changes colour when citrus is added. It turns from blue to purple.

I made this drink in three parts. The bottom part is blue pea tea, topped with a mixture of lemon juice and water, and then it is topped with plain water. That's what gives it the ombre effect.

Steps

10 mins

1

Take fresh blue pea flowers and wash them. You can also use dried flowers.
2

Put the flowers in hot water, cover with a lid and let them steep for 7-8 mins.
3

Once steeped, the water will turn a beautiful shade of blue. Let it cool down slightly for 2/3 mins.
4

Using a sieve, get rid of the blue pea flowers.
5

In a glass, add the blue pea tea and then add lots of crushed ice.
6

Put mixture of lemon juice and sugar over the ice. Now it will start to turn purple. Further add water and serve.
7

Note: You can replace sugar with honey and lemon with lime. Also, if you like fizz, then instead of topping it up with water in the end, top it with soda.
