What if the palo azul does not turn blue?

Answer 1

If palo azul does not turn blue when brewed, it may indicate that the bark is either old or not of high quality, as the vibrant color is typically derived from the plant's compounds. Additionally, the water temperature and steeping time can affect the extraction of these compounds, leading to a less intense color. If the desired blue color is not achieved, the drink may still retain some health benefits, but it might be less visually appealing.
