FAQ
Why does lemonade turn the colour teal?
Phycocyanin changes shade in acidic drinks. Lemonade, lime soda, and sour mixes will usually sit closer to teal than royal blue.
Will it hold up in bottled drinks?
Yes, especially in cold, pale drinks made with blue spirulina. Dose by batch weight and keep the drink cold through storage and service.
