Butterfly Pea Lemonade

Hi Maxine, thank you for the lovely feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the lemonade and the colour change. Isn't it a little magical?! Great idea to try layering differently next time, and using maple syrup sounds delicious 😊✨

Hey Paul, we don't imagine cold water would impact this recipe too much for the lemonade components. A slow pour over ice or the back of a spoon will help keep the lemonade from reacting to the butterfly tea too quickly. Hope that helps!

Hi Joanna, thanks for trying the recipe! The colour shift depends on how much lemonade you add and how concentrated the butterfly pea tea is. If it turned fully purple, it might be that the tea was quite strong or the lemonade ratio was lower. We achieved the blue/pink split by slowly pouring the lemonade over the ice. You can slow the pour by pouring the lemonade into the glass by pouring the lemonade over the back of a spoon. The size of your ice will also affect how fast the colour change happens - crushed ice will keep the lemonade and tea separate better than larger ice cubes. Hope that helps 🙂

Hey Shilow, you can usually find butterfly pea leaves at health food stores, specialty Asian markets, or online. We personally ordered ours online. I hope this helps!

Hey Beachpebble, we haven't tested it with the butterfly tea powder but imagine it should also work. It is a bit more grainy and has a bit of a chalky taste to it, so we'd recommend using less to start and adding more as needed. The colour of the powder is more concentrated anyway, so adding less should still result in a vibrant colour. The powder also clumps so just be sure to whisk well 🙂 Let us know how it goes if you give it a try!

Awe we're so honoured to have been part of the festivities, Cristal! Thank you :)
