Equipment

  • Milk frother
  • kettle or tea pot

Ingredients

  • ¼ cup Butterfly pea flower (fresh or dried)
  • 2 cups Water
  • 2 tablespoons honey or to taste (any sweetener works fine)
  • 1 cup Coconut milk (from a can of coconut milk)
  • dash of ground cinnamon (optional)
  • Ice cubes

Instructions

  • First, steep the butterfly pea flowers in hot water for 5 mins. Strain and set aside to cool completely.
  • Warm the coconut milk with dash of cinnamon (if using) in the microwave, about 45 seconds to a minute. You can equally hit it in a saucepan until tiny bubbles begin to form around the edges.
    Dip the frothing wand in the milk and turn it on. Whisk by swirling the wand continuously for up to a minute or until it’s frothed at the top. 
  • Pour the honey into a tall serving glass, add ice cubes, cooled pea tea, and top with frothed milk. Give it a nice Stir and Serve immediately.
