Butterfly pea flower tea, also known as Herbal Blue Tea, is all about a caffeine-free, herbal drink where the signature flavour comes from the Clitoria ternatea plant. Known for its vibrant blue color, this is an antioxidant-rich tea with potential health benefits.
5 dried butterfly pea flowers 1 cup boiling water 1 tsp honey ½ teaspoon lemon juice
Bring water to a boil. Put the dried flowers into a cup and pour the boiling water over them.
Allow it to steep for 5-10 minutes until the water turns a vibrant deep blue. Add sweetener to taste.
Strain it and squeeze in lemon to watch it turn from blue to purple before serving.
