Also known as aprajita, blue pea flowers are used to give the drink its striking blue colour. The recipe takes around 10 minutes to prepare and three minutes of cooking time, and serves two.
1. Start by adding the blue pea flowers to a jug and pour hot water over them. Allow the flowers to brew for around five minutes, letting the water take on their natural colour.
2. Next, add a few ice cubes to a glass followed by the soaked chia seeds. Strain the brewed blue pea flower water into the glass. Add freshly squeezed lemon juice and top it up with soda water or Sprite.
3. Give it a gentle stir and serve chilled.
Chef Kunal describes blue pea flowers as being rich in antioxidants and highlights their use in creating a refreshing summer drink. The addition of lemon juice also gives the lemonade a tangy flavour, while soaked chia seeds add texture to the drink.
