Looking for a specific Butterfly Pea iced tea recipe - for Xmas Eve gift

Where on the web did I see a recipe for a butterfly pea tea with edible glitter, honey, club soda or tonic, and lemon?

I’m putting the ingredients together with some astronaut glasses as a gift. I can’t find the website in my history. I probably searched “galaxy drinks” or “spaces theme drinks”, but I think I landed on a mom blog/girl’s birthday party - non-alcoholic. I want to print out the recipe to provide with the gift. I’ve tried numerous combinations of search terms.

I see a lot of other recipes, but none with both glitter and honey. There was no need to make a simple syrup.

If you know how to put together the recipe from what I’ve listed, I’d happily take it or if there’s a website you can recommend that could put together a recipe I can trust, based on the ingredients.

It recommends adding citrus juice to the shaker, which is going to turn everything purple; for blue, leave out the acid. Or shake without, then schpritz lime or lemon over each glass before soda for before-your-eyes color change?

Ingredients

2 cups Butterfly pea flower tea
1/4 cup Lime juice or lemon juice
1 tbsp Edible glitter for the rim
2 tbsp Honey or simple syrup
1 cup Sparkling water or club soda
Ice cubes
Mint leaves or edible flowers optional

Instructions

Steep the butterfly pea flower tea in hot water for about 5-7 minutes, or as per the package instructions. Allow the tea to cool completely before using.
In a small bowl, mix honey or simple syrup with edible glitter. Stir well until the glitter is evenly distributed.
Wet the rim of the serving glasses with a lemon or lime wedge. Dip the wet rim into the glitter and honey mixture to coat the edge with a shimmering touch.
Fill the prepared glasses with ice cubes. In a shaker, combine the cooled butterfly pea flower tea, freshly squeezed lemon or lime juice, and the honey or simple syrup mixture with glitter. Shake well to combine.
Strain the cocktail mixture into the prepared glasses over the ice. Top each glass with sparkling water or club soda for a refreshing fizz. Garnish the cocktail with a sprig of mint leaves or floating edible flowers for an extra touch of elegance and aroma.
