Print Recipe

A refreshing iced latte made with butterfly pea flower tea and milk, perfect for warm days.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 tbsp dried butterfly pea flowers or 5–6 fresh butterfly pea flowers or 1 butterfly pea tea bag
  • 1 cup hot water
  • 1/2 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, like almond, coconut, or oat milk)
  • 1–2 tsp honey or sweetener of your choice (optional)
  • Ice cubes
  • 1 tsp lemon juice (optional, for color change effect)

Instructions

  1. Boil water and steep the dried butterfly pea flowers, fresh flowers, or tea bag for 5-7 minutes.
  2. Strain the tea to remove the flowers or simply remove the tea bag. Allow the tea to cool to room temperature.
  3. If you prefer a sweeter latte, stir in 1-2 teaspoons of honey or your preferred sweetener while the tea is still warm. Mix until fully dissolved.
  4. In a separate container, froth the milk using a milk frother, or shake it vigorously in a tightly sealed jar or shaker.
  5. Fill a glass with ice cubes and pour the cooled butterfly pea tea over the ice.
  6. Slowly add the frothy milk to the tea, creating a beautiful layered effect.
  7. If desired, add a teaspoon of lemon juice to the latte to watch the vibrant blue tea transform into a beautiful purple hue.
  8. Garnish with fresh or dried butterfly pea flowers and enjoy your refreshing Iced Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Latte!

Notes

To enjoy later, store brewed tea in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Froth milk fresh before serving.
