Butterfly Pea Flower Latte
This easy to make butterfly pea flower latte is a delicious alternative to coffee in the morning and can be enjoyed later on in the day to help unwind.
Equipment
- small mesh strainer
Ingredients
- 8 oz cashew milk or other plant-based milk
- ½ teaspoon blue butterfly pea flower powder
- 1 tablespoon maple syrup or rose simple syrup (start with one teaspoon)
- ½ teaspoon vanilla extract
- 1 teaspoon organic dried rose petals optional
Instructions
- Heat cashew milk on medium heat until starting to steam..
- To prevent clumping, sift the butterfly pea powder into the warmed plant milk. Whisk in butterfly pea flower powder with maple syrup and vanilla extract until frothy. Keep whisking until the powder is dissolved and you see no clumping.
- Take off heat, and aerate with milk frother for 30 seconds if desired. Pour into cup.
Notes
Garnish with rose petals if desired.
Using an electric frother helps with the frothing. Be sure to mix the butterfly pea powder well as soon as it is added. Sifting the powder through a mesh strainer helps prevent clumping.
Alternately you can mix the powder with 2 tablespoons of hot water. Mix with a small whisk to incorporate it into the latte.
Instead of maple syrup, try rose simple syrup if you have it. Start with a teaspoon and adjust to your taste.
