Butterfly Pea Flower Lemonade

The times are changing, and we all can feel it. Now is the time when all the work we have done on ourselves gets put to use. What self-care rituals, meditations, and mantras are you going to dip into this evening? The plant lovers at Botanical Lucidity will be sipping this butterfly pea flower lemonade and taking an extra hot epsom salt bath this evening. 🛀🌿🦋🍋🌸

Just like how the times are changing in sync with the changing seasons, this elixir changes colors when you add lemon juice to it. The active compound, anthocyanin, is what gives butterfly pea flower its magnificently bright blue hue. When you add citrus juice to it, the color changes from blue to a beautiful violet color. 💜
