How to Make Brazilian Mounjaro Recipe

Before You Start

Have all ingredients measured and ready. If you’re using ginger, slice or grate it before heating the water. This helps infuse the flavor evenly.

Step-by-Step Instructions

Heat the water
Pour 2 cups (500 ml) of filtered water into a small saucepan or kettle. If you’re using sliced ginger, add it now so it infuses as the water warms.
Tip: Avoid a rapid boil, a gentle simmer preserves delicate flavors.
Add the butterfly pea flowers
Once the water reaches a simmer, remove it from the heat. Stir in the dried butterfly pea flowers. Let them steep for about 8–10 minutes, or until you get a deep blue color.
Visual cue: The longer you steep, the richer the color.
Strain (optional)
Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the flowers and ginger if you prefer a smooth drink. You can also leave them in for a rustic, infused look.
Mix in the flavor boosters
Stir in the honey while the liquid is still warm so it dissolves easily. Add the lemon juice and apple cider vinegar.
Watch the drink shift from blue to purple when the lemon hits; the acid lowers the pH and triggers the butterfly pea pigments to change color, as explained by the American Chemical Society.

Adjust to taste
Take a small sip and adjust. Add more honey for sweetness, extra lemon for brightness, or a splash of water if the flavor is too strong.
Serve warm or iced
For a cozy version, pour into a heatproof mug. For a chilled drink, let it cool to room temperature, then pour over ice. Garnish with fresh mint leaves if desired.

Pro Tips & Troubleshooting

Expert Tips

Balance the acidity: If the drink feels too sharp, add a splash of extra water or a pinch of pink Himalayan salt to mellow it out.
Keep the color bright: Add lemon juice last to preserve the vivid color change effect.
Infuse for depth: Steeping ginger with the water instead of adding it later gives a warmer, rounder flavor.
Batch for convenience: Make a double batch of the base (without lemon) and store it in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add lemon just before serving.

Common Mistakes to Avoid

Over-steeping butterfly pea flowers: More than 10 minutes can give a slightly earthy, muddy flavor.
Boiling after adding lemon or ACV: This dulls flavor and can create bitterness.
Undiluted vinegar can be harsh on your throat and teeth, and the American Dental Association advises rinsing with water after acidic drinks to reduce erosion.

A Clever Shortcut

Make a “Mounjaro concentrate” by steeping butterfly pea flowers and ginger in half the water amount. Store in the fridge, then dilute with cold water and add lemon and ACV right before drinking. Perfect for quick, iced servings.

Serving, Storage & Variations

Serving Ideas

Classic warm mug: Perfect for cool mornings or a relaxing evening ritual.
Iced and refreshing: Pour over ice with a sprig of mint for a cooling midday drink.
Sparkling twist: Top with chilled sparkling water for light fizz and extra refreshment.
Color show: Serve in a clear glass so guests can watch the lemon-triggered color change.

Storage Guidelines

Refrigeration: Store the prepared base (without lemon) in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3 days.
Freezing: Pour into ice cube trays for flavorful drink cubes you can drop into water later.
Sweetened versions: If you’ve added honey or other sweeteners, keep refrigerated and use within 48 hours.

Reheating Methods

Warm gently on the stove or in a microwave-safe mug until just hot enough to sip. Avoid boiling to preserve flavor.

Quick Recipe Variations

Caffeine boost: Replace butterfly pea flowers with brewed green tea or yerba mate.
Vegan version: Swap honey for maple syrup or agave.
For a light hydration tilt, a tiny pinch of salt adds sodium, an electrolyte that helps regulate fluid balance, as defined by MedlinePlus.
Spiced heat: Stir in a dash of cayenne or cinnamon for extra warmth.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I make Brazilian Mounjaro without honey or any sweetener?

Yes, you can skip sweeteners entirely for a tangier, more tart flavor. If you want a bit of sweetness without sugar, try stevia, monk fruit drops, or agave nectar.

Does butterfly pea change flavor or only add color?

Butterfly pea flowers add a very mild, earthy-floral note, but their main appeal is the vivid blue hue that shifts to purple with lemon juice.

What is the best time to drink it in the day?

Many people enjoy it in the morning for a refreshing start, or in the afternoon as a light pick-me-up. If you add green tea or yerba mate, consider drinking it before early evening to avoid caffeine disruption, as Mayo Clinic confirms yerba mate and teas contain caffeine.

Can I use green tea or yerba mate instead of butterfly pea?

Absolutely. Both add gentle caffeine and a different flavor profile. Just brew them according to their usual times before combining with the other ingredients.

How do I make it gentler for a sensitive stomach or GERD?

If reflux bothers you, reduce or skip citrus and vinegar and dilute the drink, since NIDDK lists acidic foods and caffeine among common GERD triggers.

How many calories are in one serving of the base recipe?

The base recipe with honey has about 14 calories per half-batch serving. Omitting honey will lower this to nearly zero calories.

Can I batch a few servings and store them in the fridge?

Yes. Store the base (without lemon juice) in a sealed jar in the fridge for up to 3 days. Add lemon just before serving to keep the color bright and the flavor fresh.
