Ingredients
  

  • 1 bag butterfly pea flower tea
  • 3/4 cup strawberries, stems removed and halved
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 2 oz coconut rum
  • blueberries and strawberries, for garnish

Instructions
 

  • In a small saucepot, combine the strawberries, sugar, and 1 cup of water. Bring to a gentle simmer for 12-15 minutes. Strain out the strawberries through a sieve, squeezing as much syrup as possible out of the berries.
  • In the meantime, boil 1 cup of water. Steep the butterfly tea for 5 minutes. Discard the tea bag and let cool.
  • Fill a tall glass with ice. Add 2 oz of the strawberry syrup, then the coconut rum. Finish with a heavy splash of tea.
  • If desired, thread one or two blueberries and one or two small strawberries onto a cocktail pick to garnish your glass. Cheers!
