Ingredients
  

For the Tea
  • 2 tablespoons Dried Butterfly Pea Flowers Provides an enchanting deep blue color and earthy flavor; substitute with 1 butterfly pea tea bag if needed.
  • 2 cups Hot Water Essential for steeping the tea; boiling water ensures the best flavor extraction.
For the Latte
  • 1 cup Milk Adds creaminess and froth; can be dairy or plant-based like almond, coconut, or oat milk.
  • 2 tablespoons Sweetener (honey or to taste) Enhances the flavor with sweetness; adjust based on your preference.
For Serving
  • 1 cup Ice Cubes Necessary for serving chilled.
  • 1 tablespoon Lemon Juice (optional) Contributes acidity and initiates an eye-catching color transformation; adjust based on desired acidity.

Equipment

  • Heat-proof cup
  • Milk frother
  • Tall glass

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by boiling water until bubbling, then pour it over dried butterfly pea flowers in a heat-proof cup. Steep the flowers for 5-7 minutes, watching the water transform into a stunning deep blue hue. Once steeped, strain the tea into another container and allow it to cool to room temperature.
  2. While the tea is still warm, add honey or your preferred sweetener. Stir vigorously until it's completely dissolved.
  3. Choose your preferred milk—dairy or plant-based—and froth it using a milk frother, shake it in a jar, or blend it until light and airy.
  4. Take a tall glass and fill it with ice cubes. Slowly pour the cooled butterfly pea tea over the ice, then gently add the frothed milk on top to form distinct layers.
  5. For an extra touch of flair, drizzle some lemon juice over the top of your latte.
  6. Consider garnishing with fresh or dried butterfly pea flowers atop the frothy layer before serving.
