Ingredients
Scale
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)
Additional
- Ice cubes
Instructions
- Brew the blue tea: Steep the butterfly pea flowers in hot water for 5–7 minutes until a rich deep blue color develops. Then, strain out the flowers and let the tea cool slightly.
- Make the vanilla cold foam: Blend the cold milk and vanilla syrup for about 10 seconds until smooth and foamy. If a blender is unavailable, use a milk frother, French press, or shake vigorously in a sealed jar.
- Assemble the latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, pour in the cooled blue tea, then slowly spoon or pour the vanilla cold foam on top to maintain distinct layers.
- Serve and enjoy: You can keep the layers for a stunning visual appearance or gently stir the drink to enjoy a creamy, blended latte experience.
Notes
- Adjust vanilla syrup sweetness to your preference.
- Use dairy-free milk alternatives like oat or almond for a vegan version.
- Butterfly pea flower tea has natural antioxidants and changes color with acidity.
- Serve immediately for best taste and texture.
