- Cover and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain into a glass container such as a mason jar.
- Allow to cool completely before preparing martinis. Once cooled, squeeze a lemon slice into the pitcher to change the color of the simple syrup from blue to a deep purple hue.

Notes
Use culinary lavender: You need culinary lavender buds, which is safe to consume. You can find that at some farmers’ markets and online ordering. As for butterfly pea flowers, you can order those online as well.
Fresh is best: Not only is this best prepared with fresh ingredients, such as fresh lemon, but it's also best served freshly made.
The best presentation: I like to serve this in matching martini glasses but any glassware works.
