Blue Butterfly Pea flowers aren’t just beautiful in the garden — they can bring a little natural colour magic to your glass! ✨
Simply steep a few fresh or dried flowers in hot water and watch the water turn a gorgeous blue.
Then add a sprig of mint & a squeeze of lemon 🍋
💙 ➡️ 💜 and watch the colour change!
Serve chilled over ice, sweeten if you like, and you’ve got a refreshing, naturally colourful drink that's perfect for:
🌿 Herbal iced teas
🍹 Mocktails & cocktails
🧊 Ice cubes ( pretty )
🍰 Desserts, jelly & syrups
🌱 And if you’re in subtropical Queensland… now is the time to grow your own!
Early September is an ideal time to start planting Blue Butterfly Pea seeds as spring warms up. Give them warmth, sun and something to climb, and they’ll reward you with those gorgeous blue flowers.
From garden → flower → glass… there’s so much you can do with what you grow! 💙🌿
