HOW TO MAKE ICED BUTTERFLY PEA TEA

STEP 1 MIX BUTTERFLY POWDER INTO MILK

To make this, all you have to do is mix the powder with water or milk. In the latte pictured, I used water with a splash of milk. But, if you like it to be creamier, definitely use milk in place of water!

To avoid any dry clumps of the butterfly pea powder, whisk ¼ of your liquid with the powder first. Then, when it’s evenly mixed in, add the rest of your liquid!

STEP 2 POUR OVER ICE

Easy and delicious.
