The Color Changing Galaxy Lemonade Slushie is a vibrant and refreshing drink with a magical color transformation from deep blue to purple or pink. Made with butterfly pea flower tea, lemon, lime, and ice, this slushie is as fun to make as it is to drink, perfect for parties or a special treat.

Ingredients

4 butterfly pea flower tea bags or 2 tablespoons loose dried butterfly pea flowers

4 cups filtered water

½ cup granulated sugar (adjust to taste)

½ cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (plus extra lemon wedges for serving)

1 tablespoon freshly squeezed lime juice (for enhanced color change)

Ice cubes (about 4 cups)

Optional:

Edible silver star sprinkles or pearl dust for garnish

Lemon slices and mint leaves for garnish

Instructions

  1. In a medium saucepan, bring 4 cups of filtered water to a boil. Remove from heat, add butterfly pea flower tea bags or loose dried flowers, and let steep for 5-10 minutes. Strain and allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
  2. Stir granulated sugar into the cooled butterfly pea flower tea until dissolved. Add lemon and lime juice and mix well.
  3. Add about 4 cups of ice cubes to a blender, then pour the prepared lemonade over the ice. Blend until smooth and slushy, adjusting consistency with more tea or water if needed.
  4. Pour the slushie into glasses and watch the color change! Garnish with edible silver star sprinkles, lemon slices, and mint leaves.
  5. Serve immediately and enjoy!

Notes

You can adjust sweetness by adding more sugar or substituting with honey, maple syrup, or stevia.

If butterfly pea flowers aren’t available, try other floral teas, but note that the color-changing effect may not be as dramatic.

For a thicker slushie, add more ice and blend until desired consistency is reached.
