Indulge in the mesmerizing beauty of a homemade Iced Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Latte. This stunning beverage not only captivates with its color-changing magic but also delights with a refreshing taste that is perfect for any time of day.

Ingredients

Scale

For the Butterfly Pea Tea:

  • 2 tablespoons dried butterfly pea flowers
  • 2 cups hot water

For the Latte:

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or non-dairy, such as almond or oat)
  • 2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)
  • 1 tablespoon fresh lemon juice (optional for color change)
  • Ice cubes
  • Edible flowers for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  1. Start by steeping the butterfly pea flowers: In a heatproof container, pour the 2 cups of hot water over the dried butterfly pea flowers. Let it steep for about 10-15 minutes until the water turns a deep blue color.
  2. Strain the tea: Use a fine mesh strainer to remove the butterfly pea flowers, and let the steeped tea cool to room temperature. You can refrigerate this if you prefer a chilled latte.
  3. Prepare the sweetener: In a small bowl, mix the honey or maple syrup with a splash of warm water to dissolve, making it easier to mix into the latte later.
  4. Assemble the latte: In a serving glass, add a handful of ice cubes. Pour in the cooled butterfly pea tea, followed by the milk. Stir gently to create a beautiful swirled effect.
  5. Add color and flavor: If you’d like to create a color-changing effect, add the fresh lemon juice to the butterfly pea tea before topping with milk. Watch as the blue tea turns into vibrant shades of purple!
  6. Sweeten to taste: Add the sweetened mix from step 3 into the glass. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.
  7. Garnish and serve: If desired, top with edible flowers for an extra touch of beauty. Serve immediately and enjoy your beautiful iced butterfly pea flower tea latte!
