Step-by-Step Instructions for Iced Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Latte
  1. Begin by boiling water to a rolling temperature of about 200°F. Add either dried butterfly pea flowers or a butterfly pea tea bag to a heat-resistant container, then pour the hot water over them. Allow the mixture to steep for 5-7 minutes, then remove the flowers or tea bag.
  2. After steeping, let the tea cool for about 15-20 minutes at room temperature, or place it in the refrigerator.
  3. If you prefer sweetness, stir in honey or your chosen sweetener while the tea is still warm, until fully dissolved.
  4. In a separate container, froth your choice of milk until fluffy and foamy, which takes about 1-2 minutes.
  5. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes, then pour the cooled butterfly pea tea over the ice. Slowly add the frothed milk to create layers.
  6. For a magical color transformation, add a splash of lemon juice and stir gently.
  7. Garnish with fresh or dried butterfly pea flowers and serve immediately.
