When you're in the mood to add a splash of color to your beverage or just looking for a fun drink to enjoy, a Butterfly Blue Matcha Lemonade is the perfect choice. The drink uses a secret ingredient, Butterfly Blue Matcha, which is a rare tea that changes colors when ingredients are added that change the pH level. The drink starts off as blue, but an addition of lemon which raises the pH levels of the tea turns it violet.Â

What is Blue Matcha?
Blue matcha powder is a unique and vibrant ingredient that is rapidly gaining popularity in the health and wellness world. Unlike traditional green matcha, which is made from ground green tea leaves, blue matcha is made from dried butterfly pea flowers. This vibrant blue powder is rich in antioxidants and has been linked to a wide range of health benefits, including improved brain function, reduced anxiety, and lower inflammation levels.
Beyond its potential health benefits, blue matcha is also a stunning addition to a variety of dishes, adding a pop of color to smoothie bowls, lattes, and baked goods. Whether you're looking to boost your health or simply add a touch of visual flair to your meals, blue matcha powder is a versatile and exciting ingredient to try.
