Butterfly Tea & T

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.  I had a lot of fun playing around with this one - feel free to get creative and try it for yourself!
