Instructions
- In a small pot, bring the water to a boil.
- Stir in the sugar and simmer until the sugar has completely dissolved, then remove from heat.
- Add the butterfly pea flowers, stir briefly, cover, and set aside for 30 minutes to infuse.
- Strain the mixture through a fine mesh sieve into a medium bowl (preferably with a spout) and use the back of a spoon to press as much liquid as possible out of the flowers.
- Carefully pour the mixture halfway up 6 popsicle molds.
- Transfer the popsicle molds to the freezer to rest until starting to set, about 1 1/2 to 2 hours.
- Stir the lemon juice and lemon zest into the remaining mixture in the bowl. The mixture should immediately change to a lighter purple. Cover and refrigerate the bowl until ready to assemble.
- Once the popsicle molds are starting to set, top with the remaining lemon butterfly pea flower liquid in the bowl to the fill line.
- Insert the popsicle sticks/cover and place the molds back in the freezer until completely chilled, 4 hours to overnight.
- Serve immediately after removing from the freezer.
