Notes
- For a color-changing effect, use butterfly pea flower tea instead of spirulina, and watch the drink shift from blue to purple when mixed with lemon juice.
- For an icy, gem-like look, freeze white grape juice into ice cubes and use them instead of regular ice.
- Make it a slushie by blending all ingredients with ice for a frozen version.
