My Blue
Artists and interior designers have long believed that colour can drastically affect moods, feelings, and emotions. It is a powerful communication tool and can be used to signal action, influence mood, and even influence physiological reactions. Last Tuesday, I suddenly feel the urge to experiment with my blue tea and make something astonishing to show off to you.
You won’t believe that it is super easy to make – a magical drink. Also, let me tell you a secret: you only need 3 – 5 readily accessible ingredients from your pantry staples and a nice glass to achieve this:
1.Blue tea (premade)*
2.Crushed ice
3.Lemon/ lime juice
4.Honey
5.Milk
6. Glass tumbler
*Please refer to Blog: “Blue Tea?” for a perfect blue tea
To make a magical galaxy drink (Lemonade)
First, scoop some honey into your favorite glass tumbler, as it will sink to the bottom anyway since it is the heaviest. Then, I add some lemon/lime juice. The next important step is to fill your tumbler up with crushed ice. Followed by plain water, leaving about 1cm for the last ingredient – the blue tea which is pre-made. But be very careful in this last stage because you need to add this in as gently as possible. Some people find it helpful to pour the blue tea over the back of a spoon. And boo-yah! Watch the magic unfold before your eyes!
Note: you can substitute the lemon/lime juice with other fruit juice. Explore with you unlimited imagination.
Jelly
I was curious about how the different order will affect the visual arts, so I made another one. I will leave it to you to guess what I did by looking at the picture I show you.
The short glass is made from organic almond milk, ice and blue tea. I called this blue serenity. And to my surprise, this beautiful art lasted for more than 24 hours without changing its look. I finally got round to enjoy it after the other lemonades. (I made too many at one time. ?)
I made 2 layers jelly too with coconut milk and the blue tea. And they look real gorgeous. (you can use coconut powder or any kind of milk to substitute)

In fact, I spend more time taking pictures of these achievements than making them.
Try your hands on this magical, colourful art. And remember to show your arts to me if you don’t mind. Enjoy arting!
