Metamorphosis Syrup
Utilizing the herbal, floral flavors of violet, calendula, and the color-chaning magic of the butterfly pea flower, this syrup is energetically aligned for transformation, happiness, psychic awarness, and peace. For color-changing magic, simply add an acid like lemon, and the color will change fomr blue-violet, to magenta. Lavender compliments well with this syrup.
Ingredients
- 1/8 cup dried calendula
- 1/8 cup dried violet flowers
- 1/8 cup dried butterfly pea flowers
- 3/4 cup hot water
- 3/4 cup sugar
Instructions
- Set hot water to boil. In a jar or bowl, gather herbs. Spend a moment contemplating their powerful energies: butterfly pea flower that changes color with acidity, symbolically represtneing transformation, but also associated with feminine power, and happiness; calendula/marigold often used to worship the dead but also a flower of strength, psychic abilities, and comfort; violet flower for peace, calm, psychic vision, and hope. Connect to the energies of these flowers. Pour hot water over them, and let steep for 5 minutes, then stir in sugar and allow to chill. I recommend you let this syrup refrigerate for a few hours for a better infusion - the color will grow stronger with a bit more time. When ready, strain prior to use. Refrigerate and use for up to 3 weeks.
Notes
Naturally, this syrup compliments well with lavender. If desired, add 1/16 cup of dried lavender flowers, BUT be aware this changes the addition of lavender to the cocktail & mocktail.
