3. Ingredient List & Reasons

All the information you need to create a tall glass is here:

• 1 tablespoon of raw honey – Brings sweetness and essential nutrients.
• Juice of 1 lemon – Stimulates the change in color and provides a burst of flavor.
• 1 cup sparkling water or club soda – Adds some sparkle to your drink.
• Ice cubes – Makes the drink stay cool and crunchy.
• Optional: Mint leaves, edible flowers or berries are great to use for garnish.

💡 Raw honey is key. It is sweet by itself, simple to mix with hot drinks, and contains less sugar than syrup. Alternatively, you might want to try lavender or ginger versions of honey.

Soak 1 tsp of butterfly pea flowers (or use 1 tea bag) in hot water for 5–7 minutes. Let cool.

Step 2: Prep the Honey Lemon Mix

Mix 1 tablespoon raw honey with lemon juice in a separate cup until smooth.

Step 3: Assemble Your Drink

Fill your glass with ice. Pour the cooled butterfly tea into the glass. Slowly pour in the honey-lemon mix and watch the liquid become purple—it’s really quite magical!

Step 4: Add Fizz and Garnish

Top with sparkling water. Stir gently. Garnish with mint or edible flowers.

That’s it—just pour and enjoy your lovely Lemon Honey Butterfly Fizz.

6. Troubleshooting & Tips

• Too sour? Add more honey.
• Too sweet? Squeeze in extra lemon.
• Honey clumping? Mix it with warm water or lemon juice first.
• Tea too light? Steep longer for a deeper color.

Pro Tip: Chill your sparkling water before serving to keep the fizz strong.

7. Serving Suggestions

Serve in a clear glass so the color change is visible. Great with light snacks like:

• Cucumber sandwiches
• Fruit skewers
• Mini quiches

Perfect for brunches or wellness picnics!

8. Storage & Leftover Ideas

Can you store it? Yes, but only the base. Keep the tea and honey-lemon mix separate in the fridge for up to 24 hours. Add sparkling water right before serving.

Bonus tip: Freeze leftover tea in ice cube trays and use later in water or juice for a fun, tinted flavor.

9. Conclusion & Engagement

Having a Honey Lemon Butterfly Fizz is more than drinking—it’s enjoying an experience. Watch the colors shift and enjoy the citrus fizz with every sip.
