Equipment

Ingredients

1 cup dairy milk
1/2 to 1 tsp dried butterfly pea flowers (about 5-10 flowers)
1/4 tsp vanilla extract
1/2 tbsp maple syrup
Ground cinnamon for garnish

Instructions

Gather all the ingredients for your blue matcha latte.
Pour the milk, dried butterfly pea flowers, and vanilla extract into a small saucepan. Stir until the vanilla extract is fully mixed into the milk.
Warm the mixture over medium-low heat, stirring occasionally to prevent a film from forming on top.
Let it heat for about 5 minutes to infuse the milk and bring out that natural blue color. Lower the heat if it starts to boil.
Strain out the flowers using a fine mesh strainer.
Stir in the maple syrup, then whisk continuously until the latte becomes lightly frothy.
Pour into a glass mug, sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top, and enjoy.

Notes

Make your blue matcha even better by adding 2 tablespoons of vanilla protein powder for extra flavor and protein!
A pinch of sea salt can really bring out the sweetness in this butterfly pea matcha latte!
