Butterfly pea Ice cubes
For the blue Butterfly pea ice cubes, steep the tea bags or dried flowers in boiling water and keep covered for about 5-10 minutes, till you get a beautiful deep blue color.
Drain the liquid and add sugar to sweeten it to your liking. Let the tea cool.
Fill the ice cube tray with this liquid and freeze overnight.
When the ice cubes have frozen, remove them from the tray and store them in plastic freezer bags (this is just for convenience).
When ready to serve, place rainbow ice cube each in a glass, and fill with lemonade about ¾ of the way - if you're topping it with vodka, or all the way - if you're not adding alcohol.
You can leave it out for a few minutes or until the rainbow ice cubes start to melt (especially the blue Butterfly pea ice cube), before serving.
Notes
Note - You can use any ice cube tray, but silicone trays will release the sorbet ice cubes more easily.
