Bougainvillea Lemonade @peepalfarmproducts
Ingredients
2 cups Fresh bougainvillea flower
Citrus Juice (lemon/lime/orange)
Stevia drops / other sweetener
Chia seeds (soaked)
Mint Leaves
Ice Cubes
1 cup water, enough to cover the flowers
Instructions
Dry bougainvillea flowers in shade so they don't burn and retain the beautiful color.
Heat up water in a pot and add the dried flowers. Cover the pot and turn the heat to the lowest.
Let the flowers infuse in the water for about 7 minutes on low heat.
Add lemon juice in a glass, mint, sweetener, ice cubes, and infused water to make a beautiful summer drink.
Enjoy!
Tips:
Remove the white thin flowers if you like. Some people find its taste bitter but since I used dried the flowers before using, I did not taste any bitterness.
Don't overboil the water else the flowers will burn from the heat and turn brown which will turn the drink brown instead of pink.
