Caffeine-free; versatile sweet or savory
Works in both hot and cold applications
Cons
Color can fade with prolonged heat or light
Mild earthy taste may not suit every recipe
Can clump if added too quickly to cold liquids
How to Use
For tea or lemonade, whisk 1/8–1/4 teaspoon powder into 8–12 oz hot water (for tea) or room-temp water (for lemonade) until fully dispersed; sweeten to taste. For lattes, blend the powder with a splash of warm water before adding steamed milk. For baking and frostings, sift the powder with dry ingredients or dissolve in a small amount of liquid first. Add lemon or lime to shift the color from blue to purple.
