Iced Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Latte

Iced Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Latte is a chilled tea drink made with butterfly pea flowers, water, milk, and ice. The tea brews into a deep blue shade that looks striking in a clear glass.

Milk softens the flavor and gives it a latte-style finish. Lemon juice can be added to shift the color from blue to purple. This drink stays light, smooth, and refreshing without strong bitterness.

The deep blue color feels special without extra effort, and the lemon juice creates that fun color shift right in the glass. It works for slow mornings, brunch tables, or quiet breaks when I want something refreshing without using fancy tools.
