Equipment

Ingredients
  

  • 1 teaspoon butterfly pea flower powder or 2 teaspoons dried butterfly pea flowers
  • ½ cup hot water
  • 1 tablespoon sweetener of choice
  • 1 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • ¼ cup milk of choice

Instructions
 

  • 1. In a mug or bowl, add butterfly pea flower powder. Pour hot water and whisk together until there are no clumps. Butterfly pea flower powder can be whisked similar to matcha, with a bamboo whisk, or with an electric frother. If you are using a bamboo whisk, preparing this tea powder in a bowl would be easier than a mug since there is more space. If using dried butterfly pea flower instead, place in an infuser mug and steep in hot water for 5 minutes before straining or removing leaves. 
  • 2. Stir vanilla extract and sweetener of choice in the serving mug with the butterfly pea flower tea. I recommend serving this butterfly pea flower latte in a glass mug so you can easily admire the colour. 
  • 3. Heat and froth milk of your choice until almost double in volume. Top the mug of tea with the frothed milk.
  • 4. Before taking a sip, watch as the milk blends in with the beautiful blue tea. This part is mesmerizing! Enjoy.
