Butterfly Pea Tea Latte

This Butterfly Pea Tea Latte is one of the prettiest teas you will ever drink. It is naturally colored blue from the tea leaves and is so simple to make.

Butterfly Pea Tea Latte

I love tea just about as much as I love coffee. Coffee by morning, tea by night.

So, when I made this tea, I almost couldn’t bring myself to drink it because it’s just so pretty.

Now, if you didn’t know, Butterfly pea tea latte is by far one of the most memorable drinks you will ever make!

The vibrant blue color comes from steeping butterfly pea flowers that are dried and brewed, the same as you would brew tea leaves. 

What Is Butterfly Pea Tea?

Butterfly Pea Tea is made from Butterfly Pea Flowers, from the plant Clitoria ternatea which is in the family Fabaceae and is commonly found throughout South East Asia.

The tea has an earthy, woodsy flavor and naturally turns liquids blue when steeped.

Basically, it’s an edible flower that gives a gorgeous blue color.
