First Watch Purple Haze Recipe

Recreate the delicious, floral Purple Haze lemonade from First Watch with this easy homemade recipe! Naturally sweetened and beautifully hued with butterfly pea flower tea.

Hi, everyone who loves to eat drink! I can’t wait to share with you this delicious First Watch Purple Haze Recipe today. Recently, my husband and I dined at a local breakfast spot in Central Florida called First Watch, where we discovered a seasonal drink on the menu named “Purple Haze.”

Despite my hesitation due to its sugar content, I couldn’t resist taking a sip from my husband’s glass, and it was a revelation. This unique concoction blended the earthy notes of lemonade with a subtle hint of lavender, creating a surprisingly delicious flavor. 

Inspired by this experience, I set out on a mission to recreate this drink at home, but with a healthier twist using stevia instead of cane sugar. I scoured the internet, found a fantastic video, and decided to put my twist on the Purple Haze Lemonade.

Ingredients In Purple Haze

To make this Purple Haze Lemonade, you’ll need the following ingredients:

• 1/2 cup boiling water
• 1 teaspoon dried butterfly pea flowers
• 1 lemon, juiced
• 4 tablespoons liquid stevia extract
• 2 drops lavender extract flavoring
• Fresh Water
• Ice cubes

Instructions For First Watch Purple Haze Recipe

Step 1. Prepare Butterfly Pea Flower Tea:

• Begin by heating water to near-boiling temperature. Add dried butterfly pea flowers to the hot water. Allow the tea to steep until it turns a purple color.

Step 2. Squeeze Fresh Lemon Juice:

• Squeeze fresh lemon juice using a lemon squeezer. Take two glasses and add lemon juice, using half a lemon per glass as a good starting point.

Step 3. Sweeten with Stevia:

• Now, fill each glass 2/3 full with water and then add two tablespoons of stevia per glass.

Step 4. Add a Hint of Lavender:

• To give your lemonade that unique lavender twist, add a tiny drop (or two) of lavender extract flavoring to each glass.

Step 5. Pour the Butterfly Pea Flower Tea:

• Mix the butterfly pea tea with ice cubes and gently pour it over the lemonade mixture in each glass.

Step 6. Enjoy:

• Your Purple Haze Lemonade is ready to be savored!

Pro Tips:

• You can adjust the quantity of butterfly pea flower tea to achieve your desired color intensity.

• Remember, the lavender extract is potent, so start with a minimal amount and add more if needed.

• For a more intense lavender flavor, add more lavender extract.

• If you don’t have butterfly pea flowers, you can use any type of blue or purple tea.

• For a sweeter lemonade, add more stevia extract.

• You can also garnish your lemonade with lemon slices or lavender sprigs.

Is Purple Haze Good For You?

From what I read, Purple Haze is a pretty potent sativa strain, with a THC (read more about HCU in Wikipedia) content around 20%. It provides an energetic, euphoric high that boosts creativity and happiness. However, it can also cause anxiety and paranoia in some users.

The bottom line is that marijuana affects everyone differently. For some people, Purple Haze provides positive effects like elevating mood and reducing stress. But for others, its high THC content could lead to negative reactions.

Personally, I think I’ll pass on the Purple Haze for now. While it may provide a fun recreational high for some, the potential paranoid side effects don’t seem worth the risk to me. Moderation and knowing yourself seem to be key when indulging in a powerful strain like Purple Haze.
