Butterfly pea flower is a kind of health tea that is especially suitable for autumn and winter. It invigorates the spleen and reduces dampness, and prevents indigestion and respiratory diseases. What is more special is that its own plant pigments will show three different colors of pink, purple and blue under different pH. Call a few friends at home in autumn and winter, soak in a cup of butterfly peas, and pair it with different drinks to make life warm and colorful in the cold season.

Tips:
1. Butterfly pea flower is a natural pigment, and the tea itself is blue-purple, because the change of acid and alkali makes the liquid show different colors.
2. The ice cubes must be filled to the mouth of the cup. When pouring the butterfly pea flower tea, pour it along the ice cubes to let the ice cubes act as a buffer, so as to achieve a layering effect! If you pour the butterfly pea flower tea directly, it will not layer.
