This refreshing morning tea is idea to start the day as a detox and wellness drink.
In a tea pot or cup place the required Butterfly Blue Pea Flower Tea leaves, a few cloves, and the rind of a freshly squeezed lime or half a lemon. Add sliced ginger and then add 20% cold water to the pot and hot boiling water to fill to the brim. Leave to steep for 5-10 minutes.
Adjust over time the number of Butterfly Blue Pea Flower Tea leaves as the combination with the lemon/lime will make the tea purple or dark blue or pink, depending on how many leaves are used.
Pour into a tea cup and add honey to sweeten (if that is your preference) or a sprinkle of cayenne pepper to add some tang and boost circulation. Add back in the lime or lemon juice and also stir in 1/2 - 1 tablespoon of apple cider vinegar.
For a 3 cup pot add:
- 10-12 Butterfly Blue Tea Leaves
- 5-10 cloves
- 3 or 4 large slices of ginger
- 1 lime or half a lemon (rind and juice required)
- Apple cider vinegar
- Honey (optional)
- Cayenne pepper (optional)
