Fun summer beverages

In a pot, combine 1½ cups water with the sugar and pea flowers. Bring to a boil, remove from heat and let steep for 10 minutes. Strain the mixture and let cool in a bowl.

In another bowl, combine 1 cup of water with the lemon juice.

Place ice in a glass. Fill half the glass with the blue pea flower mixture.

Fill the other half with the lemon juice mixture and let the magic begin! The drink will turn from blue to purple!

Tip: Blue pea flowers can be bought on Amazon, from David’s Tea and in natural food stores.

In a large bowl, pour the two boxes of Nerds to make the sand on the bottom.

Fill bowl with ice adding the candy sharks and goldfish along the sides of the bowl as much as possible so they’re visible.

Add a few drops of blue food colouring in the bottle of 7Up. Stir gently.

Pour 7Up into bowl. Ladle into glasses to serve.

Enjoy your ocean-inspired beverage!

Blend all ingredients in a blender. You may have to adjust the quantities depending on the strength of the blender.

Serve in a daiquiri glass.

Want to add a funky twist to your strawberry slush? Make a fizzy garnish for the glass! Follow the same steps as for rimming a glass for a margarita, but use pop rocks and honey instead!

Make a circle of honey on a plate.

Add pop rocks around the honey.

Turn the rim of your glass into the mixture.

Tip: Strawberry daiquiri mix is found in most grocery and dollar stores.
