Sweet, tart, and refreshing, lemonade is the quintessential summertime drink.
It’s the perfect way to cool off after a long day of playing in the sun.  Of course, the best kind of lemonade is homemade, which is really easy to make.

If you want to add a splash of color to your Fourth Of July celebration try this red, white, and blue ginger lemonade.

It combines herb infused colorful ice cubes with a tasty gingery homemade lemonade.

The blue is from butterfly pea flower tea. I used a blend called Blue Raspberry Crush from The Spice Tea Exchange.

However, you could use straight butterfly pea flower tea, which would result in a much darker blue. One cool thing about this tea is that it changes color when mixed with something acidic. Stir in some lemon juice and it will turn purple.

The beautiful red is from hibiscus, which has a tart flavor, but a little goes a long way.Red, white, and blue ice cubes.

 

Finally, the white is made with coconut milk, which adds some creaminess.
