Butterfly Tea and T
🌈✨ It ain’t magic until you drink it…
.
By now you are already familiar with the magical attributes of the Butterfly Pea Flower. While generally tasteless, the flowers are dried and made into tea. When brewed, turn into a dark blue hue - turns out letting it steep in room temperature gin does the same thing. The cool part about it is that anything acidic turns the liquid’s hue from a deep blue into a bright pink-ish purple.
