- 2 teaspoons Majestic Blue Flower Tea
- 1½ cups freshly boiled water
- ½ cup cold water
- 2–3 tablespoons fresh lemon juice

- 1 cup ice

How to Make
- Steep the Blue Flower Tea in boiled water for 5–7 minutes, or until the liquid develops a rich blue colour.
- Strain the tea and add sweetener while warm, if desired. Cool and refrigerate.
- Fill two glasses with ice and divide the chilled blue tea between them.
- Add cold water, leaving space at the top. Serve the lemon juice separately for a dramatic presentation.
- Slowly pour lemon juice into each glass. Watch the tea change from blue to violet, then stir and garnish.
Tea Substitutions
For the colour-changing effect, use Blue Flower Tea. For a different citrus drink, substitute Citrus Punch Tea, although it will not change colour.
