Color-Changing Teas

Butterfly pea flower is a special plant that when dried and made into a tea creates an incredible drink that is essentially another version of a mood ring. Originating from Southeast Asia, it has a withered bluish-gray tone when dried. But add different ingredients and it changes when made into a drink.
