Method
 

  1. Place butterfly pea flowers or tea bag into a heat-safe cup.
  2. Pour hot water over the flowers and let it steep for 3–5 minutes until deep blue.
  3. Strain out the flowers and stir in honey or sweetener while warm.
  4. Let the tea cool for a few minutes.
  5. Fill a tall glass with ice cubes.
  6. Pour the cooled butterfly pea tea over the ice.
  7. Add milk slowly to create a layered look.
  8. Add lemon juice if a color change is desired.

    Notes

    • 1. Steep time controls color depth.
    • 2. Lemon juice changes color fast, so add slowly.
    • 3. Plant-based milk works well for dairy-free needs.
    • 4. Serve right after assembling for best texture.
