Awesome Recipes you can try with Blue Pea Flower
This Blue Butterfly Pea Flower Recipe Collection is entertaining. Blue butterfly pea blooms have lately become popular in several sweet drink recipes. They are purple and bluish flowers that are dried and used in these recipes to provide antioxidants as well as for their fascinating color-changing effects.
1. How you can make BLUE TEA.
Ingredients
- 1 cup (240 mL) boiling water
- 3–5 butterfly pea flowers, 1 tsp dried butterfly pea flowers
- sugar, honey, or another sweetener of choice (optional)
- juice from half a lime or lemon (optional)
Fill a cup halfway with boiling water and add the butterfly pea flowers. Allow it to sit for 5 minutes, or until the water creates an intense blue colour. If desired, sweeten with sugar or honey to taste.
Lime or lemon juice can also be added. Aside from imparting a sour flavour, this decreases the pH or acidity level of the tea, altering its colour from blue to violet.
To have a pleasant drink of blue tea on a hot summer day, simply allow the tea to cool before pouring it into a glass with crushed ice.
You can now enjoy it hot or cold !
2. LEMONADE WITH MAGIC (MAGICAL LEMONADE)
Butterfly pea blossom lemonade is a wonderful type of lemonade that is visually appealing as well as thirst refreshing. This is frequently referred to as sangu poo.
Ingredients
- 8-10 dried butterfly pea flowers.
- ⅓-½ cup light coloured honey (or more as desired).
- 1 cup freshly squeezed lemon juice (or more to taste). If you use organic lemons, save the rind to make lemon pepper spice.
- 5 cups filtered water (optional: 1 cup filtered water and 4 cups sparkling water).
- Ice cubes.
- Optional extra lemon slices and/or butterfly pea flowers for garnish.
Instructions
- Bring 5 cups of water to a boil.
- Remove the tea kettle or pot from the heat and stir in the butterfly pea flower petals. Set aside for one hour, covered with a lid.
- While the flowers are steeping, squeeze the lemon juice and place it aside.
- When the butterfly tea has been prepared, filter it and stir in the honey and lemon juice. Whisk the ingredients until it is completely mixed.
- Add the remaining 4 cups of sparkling water to the sweetened blue tea, then fill your serving glasses with ice cubes.
- Pour the lemonade into the serving glasses and serve.
3. Butterfly Pea Tea ICE CUBES
Blue ice cubes would spice up any drink, but add an addition of acidic liquid, such as lemon juice, and watch some real magic happen!
Ingredients
- 4 cups of very hot water.
- ¾ cup butterfly pea flowers.
Equipment
Instructions
- Steep the pea blossoms in boiling water for 2 minutes.
- Pour the liquid into ice cube trays after straining it.
- Freeze until completely solid.
4. A BUTTERFLY PEA TEA LATTE
Ingredients
- ¾ cup butterfly pea flowers.
- full-fat milk.
- Honey.
- Ice cubes.
Instructions
- First, soak the Butterfly pea blooms in boiling water for 5 minutes, or until totally cool. If you're using the powder, steep the tea for 3 minutes as directed on the instruction card.
- After that, strain it into a tall serving glass. Add honey and ice cubes, then top with frothed milk. I prefer coconut milk since it softens the woody flavour of the pea flower. If you want a frothy top, use full-fat milk or a combination. Warm the milk before frothing to get lovely, frothed milk.
- Stir and enjoy!
