Blue Tea Lemonade Recipe
Why Choose Blue Tea?
Dried butterfly pea flowers, an ingredient used in blue tea, are high in antioxidants and have fantastic benefits towards healthy, glowing skin. It is naturally caffeine-free, full of anthocyanins, and helps protect your skin from the inside out. Plus, it gives that gorgeous, vibrant color making this lemonade so unique.
Ingredients:
- 2 tbsp Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers or ½ tsp Butterfly Pea Powder
- 1 L Water
- 40 g Sugar-Free Erythritol (or regular sugar)
- 100 mL Fresh Lemon Juice (2-3 lemons)
- Ice Cubes (for serving)
- Lemon Slices (optional)
Instructions:
Step 1: Steep the Blue Tea
Put 2 tbsp dried butterfly pea flowers (or ½ tsp powder) in a heatproof jug or bowl. Add 1 L of hot water, making sure flowers are covered. Steep for 3-5 minutes until the water becomes a bright blue.
Step 2: Add Sweetener
Stir in 40 g erythritol (or sugar), dissolve completely, and strain out the flowers or powder. Let the tea cool in the fridge.
Step 3: Prepare Lemon Juice
Squeeze 2-3 lemons for about 100 mL of juice. Strain out seeds and set aside.
