Galactic Glow (Healthy Mocktail Recipe)

If infused, the butterfly pea flower releases a vibrant indigo hue. However, when introduced to the acidity of lemon or lime juice, it undergoes a magical metamorphosis, transitioning from a deep blue to a mesmerizing purple or even pink. This creates a visual spectacle that mirrors the whimsy of a fairytale. ✨
