Blue Tea Flower Drink (Print Version)
# Ingredients:
→ Base for Tea
01 -
1 cup of hot water
02 -
1 tbsp dried butterfly pea flowers, or use 1 tea bag, or 5-6 fresh blossoms
→ Latte Elements
03 -
Ice cubes
04 -
1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based options both work)
05 -
Honey or sweetener, 1-2 tsp if you'd like a bit of sweetness (optional)
06 -
1 tsp lemon juice (if you want to see the color change, totally optional)
07 -
Extra butterfly pea flowers for decoration (optional)
# Instructions:
01 -
Let butterfly pea flowers or your tea bag sit in hot water for about 5-7 minutes. Once brewed, strain it and allow it to cool until it's room temperature.
02 -
Mix in honey or your chosen sweetener while the tea is still a bit warm, so it blends easily. This is optional!
03 -
Make your milk nice and frothy by using a milk frother, shaking it vigorously in a closed jar, or blending until it gets foamy.
04 -
Get a tall glass and add some ice cubes. First, pour in your cooled tea. Then carefully layer the frothed milk on top to create a beautiful effect.
05 -
Consider adding a squeeze of lemon juice to turn the tea into a pretty purple color. You can also top it off with butterfly pea flowers if you like.
# Notes:
01 -
You can pick any type of milk you prefer - plant-based or regular milk works perfectly.
02 -
Adding lemon juice shifts the drink's color from bright blue to a lovely purple shade.
03 -
This is a naturally caffeine-free drink.
