Instructions

Begin by creating the magical blue tea base for color transformation.

Heat 4 cups of water in saucepan until just beginning to boil.

Add butterfly pea flowers to hot water and steep for 5 minutes.

Strain the deep blue tea through fine mesh to remove flower pieces.

Stir in sugar and vanilla extract while tea is still warm.

Allow the blue tea concentrate to cool to room temperature completely.

Meanwhile, prepare fresh lemon juice and strain out any pulp or seeds.

Mix lemon juice with lime juice and honey in separate small pitcher.

Add simple syrup and agave to the citrus mixture for sweetness balance.

Stir in lemon zest and fresh mint leaves to citrus blend.

Fill serving glasses with ice cubes for the magical presentation.

Pour cooled blue tea into glasses, filling about 3/4 full.

Add cold water to dilute if tea flavor is too strong.

Present lemon juice mixture in small pitcher for the magic moment.

Slowly pour lemon juice into blue tea while guests watch transformation.

Watch as the blue liquid magically transforms into vibrant pink color.

Stir gently with colorful straws to complete the color change effect.

Garnish each glass with fresh lemon slice and mint sprig.

Add butterfly pea flower and edible glitter for extra magic effect.

Serve immediately while color transformation is most vibrant and fresh.

Encourage guests to experiment with different amounts of lemon juice.

Top with sparkling water if desired for extra fizzy refreshing texture.

Take photos of the magical transformation to capture the wonder.
