Butterfly Pea Flower Tea

Color Changing Galaxy Lemonade

When you want a tasty beverage with a fun twist, make color changing lemonade with butterfly pea flower tea.

The caffeine-free tea is naturally a beautiful shade of blue and it has a mild flavor that is similar to green tea. 

Normally, blue and yellow turn green when mixed together, but that isn’t the case when the blue is butterfly pea flower tea. 

The magic happens, when butterfly pea flower tea comes in contact with an acid, like lemon or other citrus. 

A chemical reaction occurs and the butterfly tea changes from blue to a pretty shade of purple. 

It won’t stain your teeth, but it will be a lot of fun to drink.

Make the strong butterfly pea flower tea ahead of time and chill it in the refrigerator. 

Then it will be ready to use just before serving the lemonade. 

You want to add the tea to the lemonade just before serving, so you can watch the colors change. 

The blue is pretty on it’s own, but it is really fun to watch the change.

To create a drink with a layered look like mine, you need to add the tea to the lemonade very slowly. 

Instead of just pouring it quickly directly into the glass, pour slowly against one side of the glass. 

The color is gradually change, creating a layered look. 

Serve as is with the layers for a pretty drink. 

If you stir, it won’t have layers but will still be pretty. 

Have fun and enjoy the magic of butterfly pea flower tea!
