Forest Fairy Tea Blend

Jump to Recipe

This magical Forest Fairy Tea Blend is exactly what I’d imagine a fairy’s favorite drink to be—a colorful blend of fragrant rose and hibiscus, soothing calendula, and vibrant, color-changing butterfly pea flowers!

On its own, this tea blend is a vibrant dark blue color, but stir in a little bit of lemon juice and the color will magically transform into a beautiful dark pink.
