Mocktail Recipe:
For garnish:
-
Pour some honey on a small plate
-
Using a separate plate pour some of the loose tea blend Focused Energy
-
Dip half on the glass’s rim into the honey and then dip the honey rimmed glass into the tea (try not to get it on the inside of the glass)
Put all your ingredients (minus the soda water) in your shaker or into a glass, making sure to stir well. If you have a shaker it will give a nice layer of foam to the top of the drink. Pour into your garnished glass (see below) and top with soda water.
*Brew the focused energy tea ahead of time. Put it in the fridge while it steeps until cold (you want the flavor to be pretty strong)
*How to make the Blue Lotus Syrup:
Ingredients:
-
filtered water or filtered moon water
-
About 2 handfuls of blue lotus (if you get this at cosmic corner it ends up being about half the bag contents)
-
Slightly less but an almost equal amount of butterfly pea flower (about ⅓ of the bag contents if purchased from Cosmic)
-
2 cups white sugar
Method:
-
Put 2 cups of filtered water in a pan, add blue lotus and butterfly pea flower tea leaves
-
You can do a spell or say a prayer here if you want to add your own magic. I recommend thanking the Blue Lotus and Butterfly Pea Flower for their assistance and for sharing their properties
-
Let sit on medium-high heat for 10 minutes
-
Strain tea leaves out and set aside to toss somewhere outside in nature or compost
-
Put strained liquid back on the stove and add the sugar
-
On low heat stir until all the sugar is dissolved
-
Pour into a air tight container and store in the fridge (be careful when you use not to stain your clothes)
If refrigerated this will be good for 2 weeks.
