The gorgeous, edible blue butterfly pea flower grows on a vine native to Thailand, and the dried blooms make one of the most beautiful drinks you'll ever steep. Pour hot water over the petals and the cup turns a deep, twilight blue. Add a single drop of lemon juice and watch it shift to bright pink, like a little bit of kitchen magic.

It's a calming, gently floral cup, and it's our favorite kid-friendly drink at the farm. The little ones love the color change, and we love that it gives us a beautiful pitcher of tea for the table. Beyond tea, the petals work as a natural food dye for icings, rice, lemonade, and anything else that could use a soft blue wash.

Packed on our farm in the Missouri Ozarks. Pairs nicely with the rest of our bulk herbs and flowers, and if you're stocking the tea drawer, check out our loose leaf tea collection.
