Ingredients
  

  • 4 cups ice
  • 1/4 cup dried blue pea flower tea
  • 1 1/2 cups lemonade
  • 1 tablespoon honey optional

Method
 

  1. Step 1: Make the Blue Pea Flower Tea:
  2. Boil 1/4 cup dried blue pea flower tea in 1 cup of water for 3-5 minutes. This will extract the vibrant blue color from the flowers, creating a concentrated tea.
  3. Step 2: Strain the Tea:
  4. Strain the tea through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth to remove any flower particles. This will ensure a smooth slushie texture.
  5. Step 3: Cool the Tea:
  6. Allow the tea to cool completely. This is important to prevent the ice from melting too quickly when you blend the slushie. You can speed up the cooling process by placing the tea in the refrigerator for about 15-20 minutes.
  7. Step 4: Prepare the Blender:
  8. Ensure your blender is clean and ready to use. If you have a high-powered blender, this recipe will be even easier.
  9. Step 5: Gather Remaining Ingredients:
  10. Measure out the lemonade, honey (if using), and ice, and have them ready to add to the blender.
