Notes

For a dramatic look, steep butterfly pea blossoms in water, then add before lemon juice to create a purple color-changing effect.
Always use culinary-grade lavender for safety and flavor.
For a lower-sugar version, reduce syrup and add sparkling water.
Garnish with edible flowers for a beautiful presentation at parties.
