Butterfly Pea Flower Milk Tea: Naturally Blue Boba Drink

Blue boba milk tea is not only delicious, but its beautiful color is all natural, thanks to the use of butterfly pea flower tea!

Boba tea (also known as bubble tea) is simple to make at home when you have the right ingredients.

No tricky techniques are needed, so even kitchen novices can have fun creating their own eye-catching milk tea at home.

This caffeine-free beverage has a subtle flavor, similar to green tea, that both kids and adults will love!

The stunning blue hue comes from a special type of herbal tea with a subtle flavor profile.

The Color Source: This tea creates the naturally pretty shade of blue that can look almost man-made. Depending on the brand, it may simply be called ‘blue tea’.
Flavor Profile: The tea has a subtle, earthy flavor, often described as similar to green tea.
Caffeine-Free: A great feature for this fun beverage is that it is caffeine-free, making it suitable for serving any time of day.

The recipe calls for simple finishing ingredients that you can easily customize to your taste.

Creamy Finish: A simple mixture of sugar and cream is poured over the cold tea and ice. You can adjust the amount of sugar to your desired sweetness level.
Dairy-Free Option: Easily swap the regular cream for a plant-based alternative (like coconut milk or oat milk) to make the drink dairy-free.

The festive blue color makes this drink ideal for themed parties!

Steep and Chill Tea: Heat the water and steep the butterfly pea flower tea leaves for 5 minutes. Strain the tea, then cool it completely in the refrigerator (or place in the freezer to cool faster).
Cook Boba: Prepare the boba (tapioca pearls) according to the package instructions.
Assemble: Divide the cooked boba pearls between the two drinking glasses. Add ice and pour the cold tea over the ice, filling the cups almost completely.
Make Cream Mix: In a separate small container, mix the sugar and cream together until the sugar is dissolved.
Finish & Serve: Pour the cream mixture on top of the blue bubble tea. Stir gently with a boba straw and enjoy!

This tasty blue tea is easy enough to make anytime, but the festive color makes it a perfect, fun highlight for your next gathering!
