Something about having a pretty drink in hand makes even the simplest moments feel special, whether it’s running errands, walking my dogs, or just taking a slow morning to myself. Lately, I’ve been obsessed with a dreamy, floral blue tea that is just as aesthetic as it is delicious. It tastes like spring, light, delicate, and a little magical.
Plus, let’s be real, buying seven dollar bubble teas and lattes every time I want a fun drink adds up fast. So I decided to experiment in the kitchen and create something that feels just as luxurious but can be made at home in minutes.
This blue tea has been my go to lately, and when I shared it with friends, they told me it reminds them of the blue milk from Star Wars at Disney. I haven’t been yet, but if that’s the case, I might need to book a trip.
The best part is that it is so easy to make and completely customizable depending on how creamy, floral, or subtly sweet you like your drinks.
What is Butterfly Pea Flower Tea
The magic of this tea comes from butterfly pea flower, a caffeine free herbal tea known for its stunning blue hue. It has a mild, earthy taste on its own, but when paired with something floral like jasmine and a hint of sweetness, it transforms into something incredibly delicate and soothing.
Another fun fact is that butterfly pea flower tea is pH sensitive, meaning it changes color when mixed with something acidic. If you ever want to turn this blue tea into a dreamy purple, just add a squeeze of lemon.
How to Make This Aesthetic Blue Tea Latte at Home
This recipe is super simple and you only need a few ingredients to get that gorgeous blue color and lightly floral taste.
You’ll need coconut milk or your milk of choice, vanilla coffee creamer, honey or your preferred sweetener, butterfly pea flower tea for that signature blue hue, and jasmine blossom tea to add a soft floral note.
Start by brewing the tea using a two to three ratio, with two thirds tea and one third milk and creamer. The smaller the container, the stronger the tea, so adjust accordingly. Steep the tea using two bags of butterfly pea flower tea and two bags of jasmine blossom tea for a balanced flavor. Sweeten to taste by stirring in a drizzle of honey while the tea is still warm so it dissolves easily.
Next, combine coconut milk and vanilla creamer for a creamy, lightly sweet finish. Stir everything together and enjoy. You can pour it over ice for a refreshing iced latte or warm it up for a cozy evening drink.
Why You’ll Love This Drink
It is naturally caffeine free and calming, packed with antioxidants, super easy to make at home, aesthetic and Instagram worthy, and tastes like spring in a cup.
I will definitely be keeping this in my rotation all season long. If you try it, let me know what you think. Have you ever had butterfly pea flower tea before
