Ingredients
Scale
Tea Base
- 1 tbsp dried butterfly pea flowers
- 1 cup hot water
Cold Foam
- ⅓ cup ice-cold whole milk (or oat/almond milk for dairy-free)
- 1 tbsp vanilla syrup (adjust to taste)
- Ice cubes (as needed)
Instructions
- Brew the blue tea: Steep the butterfly pea flowers in 1 cup of hot water for 5 to 7 minutes until the water takes on a deep vibrant blue color. Strain to remove the flowers and let the tea cool slightly while you prepare the next step.
- 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, you can use a milk frother, French press, or shake the mixture vigorously in a sealed jar to create a light foam.
- Assemble the latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled blue tea over the ice, then slowly spoon or gently pour the vanilla cold foam on top to preserve the layered effect.
- Serve and enjoy: Present the drink as layered for a striking visual, or stir gently to combine the flavors and enjoy a creamy, dreamy latte experience.
Notes
- You can substitute whole milk with any plant-based milk like oat, almond, or soy for a dairy-free version.
- Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
- For an iced latte without foam, simply pour the cooled blue tea over ice and stir in vanilla syrup.
- Butterfly pea flowers are naturally caffeine-free and rich in antioxidants.
- Serve immediately for best flavor and appearance.
