How do you make colour changing lemonade?

To make colour-changing lemonade, you'll need the following ingredients:

Ingredients:

- Lemons (for fresh squeezed lemon juice)

- Lemonade Mix

- Red Cabbage (finely chopped)

- Water

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Red Cabbage:

Finely chop the red cabbage. The key to making the colour-changing lemonade is in the red cabbage. It contains a natural chemical called anthocyanin, which changes colour based on the pH level.

2. Infuse the Water with Red Cabbage:

Bring 1 cup of water to a boil. Add the finely chopped red cabbage to the boiling water. Boil for 5 minutes to extract the colour and create cabbage water.

3. Strain the Cabbage Water:

Strain the cabbage water using a fine mesh sieve or cheesecloth. Discard the cabbage solids and reserve the bright blue-purple cabbage water.

4. Make Lemonade:

Mix the lemonade according to the package instructions, using the recommended amount of water.

5. Add the Cabbage Water:

Slowly add the reserved cabbage water to the lemonade, while stirring gently. You can adjust the amount of cabbage water to achieve the desired colour.

6. Observe the Colour Change:

As you add more cabbage water, you'll see the lemonade change colour. Start with a little bit of cabbage water, and gradually add more until you reach your desired colour.

7. Adjust Flavour:

Taste the lemonade and adjust the sweetness with additional lemonade mix or honey, if desired.

8. Chill:

Refrigerate the colour-changing lemonade until chilled.

When you serve the lemonade, encourage your guests to add a squeeze of lemon juice. This will result in an enchanting colour change, turning the lemonade from purple to pink.
