Ingredients Equipment Method Notes

Ingredients

Main Ingredients

500 ml water filtered preferred
2 tablespoons dried butterfly pea flowers
1 teaspoon honey or maple syrup/agave for vegan
1 teaspoon fresh ginger sliced, optional
1 lemon juice only
1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar with mother

Equipment

Saucepan

Method

Pour 500 ml of water into a saucepan and bring to a boil. If using ginger, add it now to infuse the water with warmth.
Remove the saucepan from heat. Add 2 tablespoons of dried butterfly pea flowers. Let them steep for about 10 minutes until the water turns a deep blue.

For a warm drink, pour into your favorite mug and enjoy immediately. For an iced version, let the liquid cool slightly, then pour over a glass filled with ice cubes.
