INGREDIENTS

  • 1 cup water
  • 2 teaspoons dried butterfly pea flower tea
  • ½ cup lime juice
  • ½ cup passion fruit juice cocktail
  • Ice
  • Fresh mint
  • Fresh passion fruit for garnish

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. To brew tea heat water to just under boiling and add dried tea. Stir, cover and steep for 15 minutes.
  2. Using a fine mesh sieve, remove tea solids and discard. Tea should be vibrant blue. Cool tea for 10 minutes.
  3. In a measuring cup, mix lime juice and passion fruit juice. Stir and pour 1/4 cup of the combined liquid into four glasses with ice.
  4. Add fresh passion fruit seeds if desired.
  5. Slowly pour cooled tea on top of mixed juice with ice. Pour very slowly so as not to disturb the lower layer and cause a full, immediate color change.
  6. Garnish with mint. Serve with a straw.
