Butterfly Pea Flower Dried Herbal Tea Blossoms for Blue Infusions, Color-Changing Drinks, Mocktails and Botanical Crafts
Butterfly pea flowers are dried Clitoria ternatea blossoms for naturally blue herbal tea, iced drinks, mocktails, syrups, culinary projects and botanical crafts. Their mild earthy-floral flavor blends easily with citrus, ginger, lemongrass, chamomile, lavender and mint.
Steep 1–2 teaspoons in 8–10 oz of hot water for 5–10 minutes, then strain and enjoy warm or over ice. Add lemon or lime after steeping to shift the infusion from blue toward purple. Use care in bath, body-care and craft applications because the botanical color may stain surfaces.
The resealable kraft bag is offered in 4oz, 6oz, 8oz, 10oz, 12oz and 14oz sizes. Prepared by The Turmeric Tart.
