Step-by-Step Instructions
- Start by boiling 2 cups of water in a small saucepan. Once the water is hot, add 1 tablespoon of butterfly pea flowers, allowing them to steep for about 10 minutes until the water transforms into a rich, deep blue hue. Afterward, strain the flowers, keeping the beautiful blue brew aside to cool.
- In a large pitcher, mix the cooled butterfly pea flower brew with 2 cups of cold water. Add your choice of natural sweetener, adjusting the amount according to your preferred sweetness level. Stir gently for about 30 seconds until the sweetener dissolves completely.
- Fill clear glasses with ice cubes to enhance the visual appeal. Pour the blue lemonade mixture over the ice.
- Squeeze the juice of half a lemon into each glass of blue lemonade, watching as the color changes from blue to a delightful purple.
- For an extra touch of elegance, add slices of fresh citrus fruits or a sprig of mint to each glass.
