Instructions

In a small saucepan, add butterfly pea flowers, lemongrass, and water. Bring to a simmer, turn off heat and steep for 10 mins.
Strain and transfer blue water to another saucepan. Add 1 cup of Lundberg Family Farms Organic White Jasmine Rice, minced garlic, kaffir lime leaves, salt to taste, and bring to a boil. Cover with a tight-fitting lid, reduce heat to low-simmer and cook for 15 minutes, let stand for 10 minutes.
Add cooked rice to a shallow bowl, top with mint, Thai bird’s eye chiles, and green onion. Enjoy! *Note: If you’d like a rice recipe with a pink hue instead of blue, add the juice of one lime to the water listed in the first step.
