Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons dried butterfly pea flowers

2 cups hot water

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
 

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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

          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!

            Sweeten to taste: Add the sweetened mix from step 3 into the glass. Stir to combine all the ingredients thoroughly.

              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!
