Of quartz I love crystals!
So a few of my most viral videos has been my crystal candy ones. So I wanted to play around and create a fun series on it!
This month because of spring I wanted to do something more floral. So today we are making colorful and edible butterfly pea flower crystals!
Butterfly pea flower is one of my favorite natural teas to use to add a little bit of flavor and a lot of color to things! Fun fact: when you add lemon juice to it, it magically changes to pink!
The fun part about this is being able to cut out the shapes. It might take some time but it’s really worth it to see the fun crystals that come out!
As always the recipes below! Until next time!
