You can steep longer for a deeper blue without bitterness, and using glass teaware enhances the visual appeal. Add lemon afterwards if you want to watch the brew shift to a purple hue, and consider pairing the mild flowers with lemongrass, mint, or ginger for extra flavour.\u003c\/em\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Steeped Tea \u0026 Tisanes","offers":[{"title":"15g","offer_id":46964743602412,"sku":null,"price":61.6,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0781\/5512\/0876\/files\/ButterflyPeaFlower.jpg?v=1762710545","url":"https:\/\/steeped.co.za\/products\/blue-butterfly-pea-flower","provider":"Steeped Tea \u0026 Tisanes","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
