Today's subject is photographing cold beverages. So I decided to make Magic Butterfly Pea Tea Lemonade. I chose this drink because it is so attractive in terms of color. When the tea is added with acid, the color of the tea will change. How does it can happen? This blue flower contains a high concentration of a blue-violet plant pigment, the color of this pigment depends on the acidity of its environment. It starts out blue, and slowly changes to purple and then magenta the more acidic its environment. That's why this drink is called a magic drink.
Recipe (Source: loveandoliveoil.com):
2 cups filtered water, divided
1/2 cup granulated sugar, or to taste
1/4 cup dried butterfly pea flowers
1/2 cup lemon juice
Ice
Directions:
- In a saucepan, combine 1 cup water with sugar. Stir in butterfly pea flowers. Bring to a simmer. Remove from heat, cover, and let it sit for 10 minutes. Strain through a fine-mesh sieve. Set aside to cool.
- In a measuring cup, combine lemon juice and remaining 1 cup of water.
- To serve, fill glasses with ice. Pour the lemon mixture, filling about halfway.
- Pour the butterfly pea tea mixture over top, and watch the magic happen! Where the lemon meets the syrup, the color will change from blue to purple. Stir to combine the two mixtures until the color is purple throughout and enjoy!
Sincerely,
Ferin
