This refreshing latte combines the natural floral blue hues with a creamy vanilla twist, perfect for a unique caffeine-free treat that is both beautiful and delicious.

Ingredients

Scale

Tea Base

  • 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 as needed

Instructions

  1. Brew the blue tea: Steep the dried butterfly pea flowers in 1 cup of hot water for 5 to 7 minutes until the water turns a deep vibrant blue. Strain out the flowers and allow the tea to cool slightly to room temperature.
  2. Make the vanilla cold foam: In a blender, combine the ice-cold milk and vanilla syrup. Blend for about 10 seconds or until the mixture becomes smooth and foamy. Alternatively, use a milk frother, French press, or vigorously shake the mixture in a sealed jar to achieve a foamy texture.
  3. Assemble the latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled blue tea over the ice, then gently spoon or pour the vanilla cold foam on top to create a distinct layered effect.
  4. Serve and enjoy: Serve immediately to retain the stunning layers. Stir gently if desired for a creamy, smooth latte experience.

Notes

  • For a dairy-free version, substitute whole milk with oat or almond milk.
  • Adjust the amount of vanilla syrup to your preferred sweetness level.
  • Use fresh butterfly pea flowers or dried ones for the best vibrant blue color.
  • Serve immediately after assembling to enjoy the visual contrast between the blue tea and white foam.
