Can I make this ahead of time?

You can brew the blue tea in advance and store it in the fridge for up to 2 days . Just assemble fresh for the best texture and foam.

What does butterfly pea tea taste like?

It’s very mild—almost earthy with subtle floral notes. That’s why it pairs so well with vanilla and milk.

Can I use plant-based milk?

Absolutely! Oat milk, almond milk, or even coconut milk work beautifully in this Iced Blue Tea Latte Recipe .

How do I get thick cold foam?

Use cold milk and blend briefly. Over-blending can flatten it, so keep it quick and light.

Is this drink healthy?

It’s naturally caffeine-free and low in sugar (depending on your syrup). Plus, butterfly pea flowers are known for their antioxidants—bonus!
