"Butterfly pea flowers are an exciting culinary magic trick. Steep some in hot water, and they'll turn the water blue! If you add some acidic ingredient (like lemon juice) to the water, it will then turn this gorgeous royal purple. Butterfly pea flowers can be used with spices & honey to make herbal tea, or they can be used to color rice, or to make purple or blue simple syrups for cocktails or desserts. We've also used them to color water used in ice cubes. They're a lot of fun. Give them a try!"
