BUTTERFLY LEMONADE 🦋
Skips the dyes and fake sugars and add this one to your summer to-do. Delicious and refreshing + the color-changing magic at the end is fun for the whole family.
WHAT YOU NEED:
Butterfly Pea Flowers
Juice from 8 fresh lemons
1/2 cup sugar
Boiling water
1/2 gallon mason jar or similar sizes glass pitchers/jars
Juice 8 lemons and set aside.
Add 1/2 cup sugar to glass container and dissolve in hot water (I use about 3 cups)
Steep butterfly pea flowers in 1/2 gallon mason jar until you get a pretty medium blue color. Strain and combine with the sugar water.
Add juice from lemons and watch the magic!
BENEFITS:
Butterfly pea tea is known to be rich in antioxidants, support healthy skin + hair, may promote weight loss and stabilize blood sugar. Butterfly pea flowers are rich in anthocyanin compounds called ternatins, which give the plant its vibrant hue. Some studies suggest that ternatins can alleviate inflammation and may prevent cancer cell growth.
Saw this over @urban_farmwife and we’ve been obsessed ever since! HOW COOL and fun is this?
