As a natural litmus that changes colour when it comes in contact with acid, the eye-catching blue shade of butterfly pea flower extract and its mesmerising colour-changing properties have made it increasingly popular across the world. Last year, coffee giant Starbucks launched a limited-edition Butterfly Pea Lemonade Cold Brew that made its rounds on social media for its dreamy colour-shifting hues.

These are the four ingredients you need to make this soothing latte recipe. The fifth ingredient, rose petals or rose buds, is optional.

Step 1. Cashew milk, almond milk, coconut milk, or oat milk - use the plant milk of your choice.

Step 2. Blue butterfly pea powder - also known as blue matcha- is dried and crushed butterfly pea flower petals that are ground into a fine powder. The benefit of using the powder is that you don't have to brew it first.

Step 3. Maple syrup to add sweetness (start with one teaspoon).Vanilla extract for additional flavor.

Step 4. Culinary dried rose petals or dried rose buds- optional for the prettiest garnish.

Step 5. Rose water - optional; this is a lovely addition for a light floral flavor.

This dairy-free creamy blue latte with dried blue pea flowers is soothing, and the taste reminds me of the flavor of green tea. It is lovely, mild, delicate, and floral, with a slightly earthy and woody flavor.

Step 4.  Once the color of the blue tea is vivid enough, set it aside and put a strainer over a glass carafe or pitcher.

Step 5.  Strain the blue tea and discard the flowers.

Step 6.  Fill 2 glasses with ice.

Step 7.  Split ¾ cup of milk between the 2 glasses equally.

Step 8.  Pour the butterfly pea tea over the milk until it reaches the top of each glass and stir to enjoy.

For vegans or those following a plant-based diet, use any unsweetened vegan milk you like. I highly recommend oat milk though because it makes the drink smell amazing.
