A Blue Vanilla Moon Latte is just what we need while staying cosy in at home. This tea latte is naturally sweetened with maple syrup and a dash of vanilla. The Blue Butterfly Pea Powder gives this latte a vibrant colour and major health benefits.
Can’t Have Coffee? Try This Latte Instead.
This tea latte is a great alternative to coffee in the mornings. Butterfly Pea tea is rich in natural antioxidants and is said to improve blood circulation, eye health, and is nourishing for the skin and hair. You can find it in the form of dried flowers or as a powder. I purchased my dried flowers and powder from Amazon.
If you haven’t gotten into tea lattes, this is your chance. If want something warm and creamy in the afternoon, but it’s too late for a coffee, a tea latte is your go-to beverage.
What Is Blue Butterfly Pea Tea?
Butterfly Pea Flower is a plant common to most South East Asian countries. It has many health benefits such as:
1. It’s filled with anti-inflammatory compounds: That means it can help your body fight back against the damage caused by free radicals, like inflammation and signs of aging in the skin. It’s particularly rich in anthocyanin, a type of antioxidant also found in blueberries and red wine that is well-known for fighting inflammation and boosting heart health.
2. It could help with cognitive function: Butterfly pea flower is a natural nootropic, which means that it can potentially help improve cognitive function.
3. It’s good for your skin: Butterfly pea flower makes sense as a refreshing spa beverage because it has bonafide beauty benefits thanks to all of those antioxidants.
4. It changes color (in a good way): The most intriguing aspect of butterfly pea flower as an ingredient is that it’s subject to change color based on PH balance. Adding something like lemon juice will purple-ify the drink, while playing with other ingredients can zap it red.
