Indigo Blue Herbal Tea
Indigo Blue Herbal Tea
Indigo Blue tea flowers come from a Butterly Pea vine primarily grown in Thailand. Our unique blend is pre-mixed with lemon verbena, dried lemon, and a slightly earthy flavor. When steeped for 5-8 minutes, it makes a beautiful blue-colored herbal tea with a natural lemon flavor known for its medicinal benefits. Steep one teaspoon per 1 (8 oz) cup. Serve it hot or iced.
Great for making an entertaining mocktail. Add citrus juice from a lemon or lime, and it turns purple.
