Ingredients
Scale
Blue Tea
- 1 tbsp dried butterfly pea flowers
- 1 cup hot water
Vanilla Cold Foam
- ⅓ cup ice-cold whole milk (or oat/almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Brew the blue tea: Steep the dried butterfly pea flowers in 1 cup of hot water for 5 to 7 minutes until the water turns a deep blue color. Strain out the flowers and allow the tea to cool slightly to a warm but not hot temperature.
- Make the vanilla cold foam: In a blender, combine the ice-cold milk and vanilla syrup. Blend for about 10 seconds until the mixture becomes smooth and foamy. If you don’t have a blender, you can achieve similar results using a frother, French press, or by shaking the mixture vigorously in a sealed jar.
- Assemble the latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled blue tea over the ice. Then, slowly spoon or pour the vanilla cold foam on top of the tea to create a layered effect.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve the latte as is to keep the beautiful layers intact, or gently stir to combine the flavors into a creamy and dreamy blue tea latte experience.
Notes
- Use cold milk to achieve the best foam texture.
- Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to your preferred sweetness.
- For a dairy-free option, substitute whole milk with oat or almond milk.
- Butterfly pea flowers are naturally caffeine-free and add a vibrant blue color without adding flavor.
