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)
Extras
- Ice cubes as needed
Instructions
- Brew the blue tea: Steep the dried butterfly pea flowers in 1 cup of hot water for 5–7 minutes until the water takes on a deep blue color. Then strain out the flowers and allow the tea to cool slightly to room temperature.
- Make the vanilla cold foam: In a blender, combine the cold milk and vanilla syrup. Blend for about 10 seconds until the mixture is smooth and foamy. If you don’t have a blender, use a milk frother, a French press, or shake vigorously in a sealed jar to create foam.
- Assemble the latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled blue tea over the ice. Slowly spoon or gently pour the vanilla cold foam over the top to create layers.
- Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately. You can enjoy it as is to appreciate the striking blue and white layers, or stir gently to blend the vanilla foam with the blue tea for a creamy, smooth beverage.
Notes
- Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to suit your desired sweetness level.
- You can substitute whole milk with any plant-based milk like oat or almond for a dairy-free version.
- The butterfly pea flower tea is naturally caffeine-free and packed with antioxidants.
- For best results, serve the latte immediately to enjoy the layered look and fresh foam texture.
