This Tea Changed Before our Eyes!? [Butterfly Pea Flower]

[@abigailscottage5107]

In case you didn’t already know, there’s also a white butterfly pea. Just as pretty, just as medicinal. It brews up into a pretty light golden color, and when lemon is added, the tea turns clear, almost water-like. I love both!

[@ciminofarm7018]

I love blue butterfly tea! I also love the relationship between your mom and you and how much you enjoy learning and sharing your knowledge with us.

[@tammystoddard2830]

I add Blue Butterfly Pea to all my teas and always have to sip it from a clear glass mug to enjoy it’s beautiful color

[@TheHoneystead]

It’s such a beautiful fun tea and a great experiment for the kiddos!!!

[@shelleygiesbrecht4759]

I love butterfly pea tea with raw honey, so delicious!

[@TheHoneystead]

Yum!!!!

[@joanmills1592]

Put flowers in a cup. Pour hot water and steep. At this point the flowers are soft and chewy. I just ingest them and drink the tea.

[@mashiachisreal92]

You could also make popsicles for those hot summer days.

[@TexasBeekeeper]

That looks delicious! Going to have to give that a try. Thanks for sharing

[@dianetucker2711]

BEAUTIFUL ❣️ You can do the same thing with wild violet flowers in the springtime 🤗

[@TheHoneystead]

I love wild Violet!

[@releaseofnashville2831]

I’ve been using this dried for several years. Make some and add to homemade lemonade. It’s neat to watch it change to purple and it taste amazing together. Where did you purchase your plants or seeds?

[@propeacemindfortress]

I call that true value, thank you.

[@reneeb4308]

Wild violets flowers do the same thing - turn from blue to reddish purple when you add lemon

[@gratiasgarden]

I was so excited to see this video! I planted this plant from seed, successfully had 5 plants make it, put them outside and the rabbits ate most of them. Brought them back into the greenhouse and they are doing great again. I cannot wait to use these in lemonade and for other things. To know this is great for hair and nail growth is an added bonus I had no idea about. I have super long but super fine hair that has so many fly aways. On a side note, after I brought them out of the greenhouse for the first time, I noticed the leaves were turning this silver color. Maybe my sun is too intense but like I said they are back in the greenhouse.

Another great video!!! I just love that your Mom is doing this with you; it reminds me of all the things my Mom and I did together!!! I really miss her!!! Thanks so much for sharing the love between the two of you!!! What does the tea taste like? We need more seed catalogs for medicinals.

[@DrChaad]

There are very few natural foods that have a pure, cool blue color; Even blueberry pulp is purple, i.e., tinted to the red side. I wonder if this is where they got the idea for litmus paper. I have seen similar color changes with pH (acidity) in other foods like red cabbage and black Goji berries.

[@jamesgranderson2890]

As hot as it is right now I’d like a big ol’ mason jar of this on ice!

[@Soberman75]

looks like a amazing sunny day there.

[@tannisadam1946]

Wow! That was so awesome! Magical! Thanks for the great video! Now I'll be on the hunt for the butterfly pea flower 😀

[@samoatodd8730]

LOVE THIS! I didn’t know anything about this plant but I started some from seed this year. ❤️

[@CastleHives]

Since your Mom now has a Flamethrower in her collection, I'm not sure if She-Shed is appropriate. I would say it is the Bee Garrison. . Haha

[@TheHoneystead]

Hahahaha

[@FreeRangeArtFarm]

I love that.

[@claudiafortimelesscrochet4u]

That looks so yummy! I would add some of your beautiful honey to it as well! Thank you for sharing!

Mix it with Slender Mountain Mint and Lemon Balm. It will relax the most stressed person with 0 side effect’s.

[@andikerr3809]

Too cool

[@stitchfergus9084]

Thanks for another wonderful video, you guys are just so great. Cheers from Brisbane, Australia.

[@TheHoneystead]

Thank you ☺️

[@Vetventures]

So cool! Will this vine overwinter where you live?

[@TheHoneystead]

They are perennial so they will come back every year!

[@lucythomas4077]

Where did you purchase your tea pot? Looks perfect for loose leaf teas.

[@everydimecounts5619]

Wild violets have the same reaction

[@edp3421]

That was cool

We think so too!!!

Great video. Do you guys dry your herbs and tea fixins in the sun, food dryer, oven or what? Do you have a video on food drying? Phil

[@TheHoneystead]

I will definitely do a video on this! Thank you for the suggestion!

I enjoy both of you! Wish you were my neighbors

[@VeganAJohnH]

I see that your honey house is a green house too. Not just because of all the windows, but it's also green. Now I have been watching spring watch here in Britain, I have learnt that flowers let of heat like a human body does, so that the bees can get nectar pollen ect. But they can identify flowers by this heat & also keep warm if it's a bit cold. I have a question as well for you. I use to keep birds in many aviary's, now the birds use to fight over the next boxes if they were different colours or at different heights. Until I made them all the same colour & same height. Are bees the same when the hives are at different heights or if the hive is a different colour, will 1 hive try to take over another hive because they think the colour of the roof or walls are warmer or the height is better for them ?.

[@jerrymack8894]

Do you store your teas in amber jars or will light affect tea.... Beth

[@TheHoneystead]

Tinctures we store in Amber bottles and dried herbs are in glass jars, but not in direct sun light :)

[@jerrymack8894]

Do you know when you will have more tea available in your etsy shop??? Thanks Beth

[@TheHoneystead]

I am going to be posting them by this weekend:)

Can bees drink tea?

[@nunyabiznes33]

I'm not a fan of the taste. It's tolerable with milk, tastes like soymilk. Got a double-flowered one that won't make pods, I think the bees can't get into it like the regular one.
