Ingredients
Tea Infusion
- 1 tbsp dried butterfly pea flowers
- 1 cup hot water
Latte
- ⅓ cup ice-cold whole milk (or oat/almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Steep the Butterfly Pea Flowers: Place 1 tablespoon of dried butterfly pea flowers into a cup or teapot. Pour 1 cup of hot water over the flowers and let steep for about 5 minutes until the water turns a vibrant blue.
- Prepare the Milk: While the tea steeps, measure out ⅓ cup of ice-cold whole milk, or your preferred dairy-free alternative such as oat or almond milk.
- Mix and Sweeten: Remove the tea flowers by straining or removing the infuser. Add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup to the blue tea and stir well. Adjust sweetness as desired.
- Assemble the Latte: Fill a glass with ice cubes. Pour the sweetened blue tea over the ice, then gently add the cold milk on top to create a layered effect. Stir lightly if preferred.
- Serve and Enjoy: Serve immediately for a refreshing and colorful blue tea latte experience.
Notes
- You can adjust the vanilla syrup quantity based on your sweetness preference.
- Use any plant-based milk to make this recipe vegan and dairy-free.
- For a warm version, skip the ice cubes and use hot milk instead of cold.
- The butterfly pea flower tea changes color slightly with the addition of acidic ingredients like lemon, so avoid adding lemon if you want to maintain the vibrant blue hue.
