Chef tips
For a more intense color, steep the butterfly pea flowers 2 extra minutes, but not too long to avoid strong vegetal notes. If you want a finer texture, strain the purée before mixing.
Substitutions
You can replace the honey with agave syrup for a vegan version. If you cannot find kaffir lime leaves, use a little regular lime zest, though the aroma will be different.
