Blue Matcha Latte / 青い抹茶ラテ
Can you believe this beautiful blue drink is matcha?!
Servings: 1
Ingredients
- water
- 1 tsp matcha
- 3 tsp butterfly pea flowers you can use the flowers like me or there's powder or bagged versions
- 1 tsp sugar
- 1/2 cup milk
Instructions
- Heat the water to just before boiling. In a matcha bowl or wide-bottomed bowl, put in 1 tsp of matcha powder and a little bit of the water (about 2 oz). Whisk the matcha until smooth.
- In a mug or cup, pour in some of the hot water for your latte base. Steep 2 tsp of butterfly pea flowers for about 3-5 minutes or until you achieve your desired color (I recommend keeping it lighter than going too dark since the matcha will darken it).
- Once the butterfly pea flower base is done steeping, pour in the matcha and stir.
- Heat the milk lightly (do not boil). Steep 1 tsp of butterfly pea flowers in the hot milk to make the milk a pretty light blue color (I recommend going slightly darker than what you want since it will look less bold after it's frothed). Once desired color is achieved, froth the milk.
- Top your tea base with the frothed milk and enjoy!
