The Magic of Butterfly Pea Flower Tea

Its healthful properties—rich in antioxidants and known for supporting relaxation—make it a nourishing addition to your daily routine.

How to Brew the Perfect Butterfly Pea Flower Tea

Start by sourcing dried butterfly pea flowers, easily found online or at specialty stores. Bring fresh water to a near simmer and steep the blossoms until the water turns a brilliant sapphire blue. A quality Amazon Basics Digital Kitchen Scale with LCD Display, Black and Stainless Steel ensures you measure your tea and water precisely for consistent flavor every time.

For best results:

• Use filtered water for exceptional clarity and taste.
• Steep for 5–7 minutes to achieve the full spectrum of color and flavor, then strain out the flowers.
• If serving iced, allow the brewed tea to cool before pouring over ice cubes—this helps maintain the vivid hue.

Creative Serving & Flavor Enhancements

One of Butterfly Pea Flower Tea’s most impressive features is its chameleon-like tendency to change color with a squeeze of citrus. Add lemon or lime juice and watch your brew shift from blue to a stunning purple. For even more visual appeal, blend your cooled tea with ice and honey using the ultra-efficient Ninja BL610 Professional 72 Oz Countertop Blender, Black for a frosty, Instagram-worthy drink.

For entertaining, serve your colorful tea in a sturdy Stanley Quencher ProTour Flip Straw Tumbler, 30 oz, Rose Quartz to keep it chilled and spill-free. Pair your tea with herbal garnishes—like sprigs of mint—or finish with edible flowers for a sophisticated touch.
