Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Brew the blue tea by boiling 1 cup of water to 190°F (88°C). Add 1-2 teaspoons of dried butterfly pea flowers to the hot water and steep for 5-7 minutes. Strain the flowers and let the tea cool slightly.
  2. Make the vanilla cold foam: In a blender, combine ½ cup of ice-cold whole milk (or dairy-free) with 1-2 tablespoons of vanilla syrup. Blend for about 10 seconds until creamy and frothy.
  3. Assemble the latte: Fill a tall glass with ice cubes. Pour the cooled blue tea over the ice, filling about halfway.
  4. Layer the cold foam: Gently spoon the vanilla cold foam on top of the blue tea to create a layered contrast.
  5. Serve and enjoy immediately while the layers are distinct. Stir together or admire the presentation before sipping.

Notes

For the best flavor, use fresh butterfly pea flowers and ensure your milk is ice-cold before blending. Adjust sweetness with vanilla syrup as needed.
