Ingredients
  

  • Edible Flowers dried
  • 1 1/2 ounces Gin
  • 3 fluid ounces Lemonade
  • 1 ounce Butterfly Pea Tea see note
  • 1 cup Water
  • 1 cup Granulated Sugar
  • 1 1/2 ounces Food-Grade Lavender

Instructions
 

  • Place dried edible flowers into an ice cube tray with water and freeze overnight.
  • Prepare lavender syrup by pouring the sugar and water into a pot and let it come to a boil. Add your flavoring and let the mixture simmer for 10–15 minutes. Then strain it into a jar, let it cool completely, and put it in a sealed container in the fridge for later.
  • Boil water for the tea. Let butterfly pea tea brew for about 1 minute. (Otherwise, the flavor of the tea will be too strong and will overpower the flavor of the cocktail.) Allow to cool.
  • In a cocktail shaker, combine gin, lemonade, and 1/2-ounce of lavender syrup. Shake for 20 seconds.
  • Strain over flower ice into a beer can glass (or your glass of choice).
  • Slowly pour butterfly pea tea on top of the cocktail to add color.

Notes

When brewing butterfly pea tea, only let it brew for about 1 minute. Otherwise, the flavor of the tea will
be too strong and will overpower the flavor of the cocktail.
