Butterfly pea flower ice cubes are made from butterfly pea tea and cannot be more simple to make. These bright blue ice cubes are all natural with no artificial dyes! Butterfly pea ice cubes transform an ordinary drink into an extraordinary one and add a refreshing twist to your summer drinks!
Equipment
- Organic Butterfly Pea Flower
- Glass Teapot
- Ice Cube Tray with Lid
Ingredients
- 2 Tablespoons Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers
- 2 Cups Water
Instructions
- Steep the Tea: Begin by steeping a handful of butterfly pea flowers in hot water. Allow the flowers to steep for about 5 - 10 minutes. The water should start to turn a vibrant blue color. The longer you steep, the deeper the color will be.
- Strain the Tea: After the flowers have steeped, remove the tea infuser or strain the tea into a pitcher. Be sure to press down on the flowers with the back of a spoon to extract all the liquid.
- Pour the Tea into Ice Cube Tray: Once your tea is strained, it's time to pour it into your ice cube tray.
- Freeze: Place the ice cube tray in the freezer. Let the tea freeze for about 8 hours, or until the ice cubes are completely solid.
- Serve: Now, you can add these blue ice cubes to any drink.
Notes
- To make the ice cubes even more dazzling, try adding a few drops of lemon juice or other citrus to your tea before freezing. This will turn your ice cubes purple.
- For extra flavor, consider adding a few drops of honey or sugar syrup to the tea before steeping. This will add a layer of sweetness to your drinks.
- To enhance your butterfly pea flower ice cubes further, add a dried flower to the top of each cube before freezing.
