In a small saucepan or kettle, bring 2 cups of water to a rolling boil.

Place the dried butterfly pea flowers in a teapot or heat-safe cup.

Carefully pour the hot water over the anthocyanin-rich flowers and allow them to steep for 5–7 minutes, or until the tea turns a vibrant blue.

Stir in your preferred sweetener while the tea is still warm, if desired.

Let the tea cool to room temperature, then transfer it to a pitcher or container.

Fill serving glasses with ice cubes.

Pour the cooled butterfly pea flower tea over the ice.

To transform your blue pea flower iced tea into a purple or pink hue, gently stir in a squeeze of fresh lemon juice. Watch the color-changing tea magic happen!
