Ingredients
  

2 tablespoons butterfly pea flower tea

2 cups hot water

1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based)

2 tablespoons honey or maple syrup (adjust to taste)

1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract

Ice cubes

Edible flowers (for garnish, optional)

Lemon slices (for a vibrant twist)

Instructions
 

Steep the Tea: In a teapot or heatproof container, pour the hot water over the butterfly pea flower tea. Let it steep for about 5-7 minutes until you achieve a rich blue color. Strain the tea to remove the flowers and set aside to cool.

    Prepare the Milk: In a small saucepan, heat the milk over medium heat until warm but not boiling. Stir in the honey (or maple syrup) and vanilla extract until well combined. You can froth the milk if desired for a creamier texture.

      Combine: Fill a glass halfway with ice cubes. Pour in the cooled butterfly pea tea until it fills about two-thirds of the glass.

        Layer the Milk: Gently pour the warm milk mixture over the tea, creating a beautiful layered effect. The blue tea will remain at the bottom, while the milk forms a lovely contrast on top.

          Finishing Touches: For a vibrant twist, add a squeeze of lemon juice to the tea layer, which will turn the color to a stunning purple.

            Garnish: If using, add edible flowers on top and a slice of lemon on the edge of the glass for visual appeal.

              Serve: Stir gently before drinking to combine the flavors, or serve as is for a striking presentation.
