Ingredients
  

1 cup of water

1 tablespoon butterfly pea flower tea

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based, such as almond or oat milk)

1 tablespoon honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ice cubes (optional, for iced version)

Edible flowers or whipped cream (for garnish, optional)

Instructions
 

Brew the Tea: In a small saucepan, bring the water to a gentle boil. Add the butterfly pea flower tea and steep for about 5-7 minutes to extract the vibrant blue color. Strain the tea into a separate container and set aside.

    Prepare the Milk: In the same saucepan, add your milk of choice and heat it on low heat. Whisk the milk continuously until it is warm and frothy but not boiling.

      Sweeten the Milk: Stir in the honey or maple syrup and vanilla extract into the warm milk until well combined.

        Layer the Latte: In a serving glass, pour in the butterfly pea tea first (you can serve it warm or over ice if you prefer). Then carefully pour the frothed milk on top, allowing it to create a beautiful layered effect.

          Garnish: Optionally, top your butterfly pea latte with edible flowers or a dollop of whipped cream for a stunning finish.

            Serve: Present the latte to your guests and enjoy the compliments on both the aesthetic and deliciousness of the drink!
