¼ tsp Suncore Foods® Red Beet Powder

2. Rose Jelly — Steep Suncore Foods® Rose Petals in 1¼ cup hot water for 30 minutes. The longer you steep the flowers the stronger the rose flavor will be. Strain the rose tea and discard flowers.

Bring mixture to boil and continue boiling for 1 minute. Reduce heat to medium and continue to cook for 2 minutes. Transfer mixture into a container and refrigerate for minimum 2 hours up to overnight. When ready to serve, cut jelly into small cubes.
3. Jasmine Lemonade — Steep Suncore Foods® Jasmine Flowers in hot water for 20 minutes. The longer you steep the flowers the stronger the jasmine flavor will be. Strain the jasmine tea and discard flowers. Mix in lemon juice and simple syrup.
4. Assemble Lemonade — Add butterfly pea ice cubes to a glass. Next, add 2-4 tbsp of rose jelly. Pour Jasmine lemonade and top off with some more rose jelly. Optional: Garnish with a few Suncore Foods® Jasmine Flowers.
