  • 1/2 cup butterfly pea flower
  • 1/2 cup marshmallow root
  • 2 cups water
  • 1 cup fresh blueberries
  • Honey or sweetener of choice to taste
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  • Strain & Prep the Glass: Strain the tea using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth.
  • In a glass, muddle the fresh blueberries at the bottom to release their juices.

  • Enjoy! Serve as is for a deep blue tea, or add a squeeze of lemon juice for a magical color change!

Notes

If you add lemon juice to this iced tea for added flavor, it will turn purple!
