A Blue Matcha Latte is a soothing, caffeine-free beverage that boasts a remarkable, dazzling blue hue. This color comes from the butterfly pea flower, which is ground into a powder much like the green matcha you might be more familiar with. But unlike green matcha, blue matcha is caffeine-free and carries a unique, mild botanical flavor. This drink is perfect for those who want a calming, warm beverage without the stimulation of caffeine.
Recipe for Blue Matcha Latte
Ingredients:
- 1 teaspoon of blue matcha (butterfly pea flower powder)
- 1 cup of your choice of milk (almond, oat, or cow's milk work well)
- 1-2 teaspoons of honey or sweetener of your choice, to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon of vanilla extract (optional)
Instructions:
- Warm your milk in a saucepan over medium heat. Once hot, remove from the heat.
- Add a small amount of the warmed milk and a teaspoon of blue matcha into your Elixir Mixer. Whisk on speed 1 to mix the blue matcha and milk together until fully combined. This ensures the matcha is well-dispersed, preventing any lumps.
- Pour the remaining milk into the cup, stirring as you go.
If using, add honey or sweetener and vanilla extract. Use the Elixir Mixer once again to combine until you reach a frothy, smooth consistency. - Serve warm and enjoy the calming, botanical flavors of your Blue Matcha Latte!
