In neutral or alkaline conditions — plain water or milk — the colour is vivid blue. Add an acidic ingredient like lemon or lime juice and the pH drops, causing the butterfly pea colour change from blue toward violet, purple, or pink. The more acidic the ingredient, the more dramatic the shift. This is what makes butterfly pea lemonade and colour-changing mocktails so visually striking.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs it a good caffeine-free alternative to matcha or coffee? \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes, it is one of the most visually stunning caffeine-free latte alternatives available.

Dissolve in cold water, add to your cocktail or mocktail base, then add citrus to trigger the colour shift. It pairs beautifully with gin, vodka, sparkling water, lemonade, elderflower, and citrus. The colour change makes it one of the most visually impressive ingredients for layered drinks.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Maison Koko","offers":[{"title":"50g Pouch","offer_id":47813951553762,"sku":"1055-1","price":15.99,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/1800\/5218\/files\/Premium_Blue_Butterfly_Pea_Powder_Maison_Koko.png?v=1779557657"}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0708\/1800\/5218\/collections\/New_Launches.png?v=1780319429","url":"https:\/\/maisonkoko.com\/collections\/new-launches.oembed","provider":"Maison Koko","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
