Ingredients
  

1 cup water

1 tablespoon dried butterfly pea flowers

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

1–2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

Ice cubes

Optional: 1 teaspoon vanilla extract

Optional: Lemon or lime slice for garnish

Instructions
 

Steep the Tea: Boil 1 cup of water in a small pot. Once boiling, remove from heat and add the dried butterfly pea flowers. Let steep for about 5-10 minutes or until the desired color is achieved (a deep blue hue). Strain and discard the flowers, setting the tea aside to cool.

    Prepare the Milk: In a separate container, combine the milk and sweetener (honey/maple syrup) along with the optional vanilla extract. Stir until fully mixed and the sweetener is dissolved.

      Ice It Up: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled butterfly pea flower tea over the ice, filling the glass halfway.

        Create the Latte Layer: Gently pour the prepared milk mixture over the back of a spoon into the glass to create a layered effect. This helps to keep the blue tea separate from the white milk for a stunning visual.

          Garnish and Serve: Place a slice of lemon or lime on the rim of the glass, if desired. This adds a beautiful splash of color and a hint of citrus flavor which enhances the tea's natural earthiness. Stir before drinking to blend the flavors or sip it as is for a layered experience.
