Instructions

In a large pitcher, combine butterfly pea flowers and hot water. Allow 5-10 minutes to steep, develop a dark blue color, and cool completely.
In your glasses, add citrus wedges and lavender and muddle (if using) with the back of a wooden spoon. Add ice, a shot of liquor to each glass as well as citrus juice, simple syrup and mix.
Pour in the butterfly pea flower water and watch the magic happen! The acidity from the lemon will turn the blue water purple. Enjoy!
