Overview
Butterfly Pea is used a lot in Southeast Asia, where it comes from. We may call it Butterfly Pea, but the flower is called Dok Anchan in the Thai language. It is used to make Nam Dok Anchan, a sweet, chilled, drink that is made with the petals. It is also used as a beautiful natural dye. Actually, when you steep the petals in boiling water, make sure to add lemon juice, because the acidity makes the Ph levels lower and the color turns into a beautiful pink hue.
