Butterfly-Pea Flower Tea! ?
The tea is made from the dried cobalt blue flowers!
It’s been a popular addition to trending cocktails because of its magical colour changing properties but we prefer to drink it on its own as part of a daily ritual.
Native to South East Asia – you might have seen it growing in gardens and restaurants around Bali!
Here are 5 reasons to try this beautiful tea!
1. In India, it is considered a holy plant, and throughout Asia it’s often used as a food coloring because of its vibrant blue shading. (Toxic free blue coloring for cakes, kids baths and activities too!)
I had my little guy help me with an experiment changing the PH of the tea with honey and lemon! Acids such as lemon or lime juice make for a vibrant purple color, while a base of hibiscus flower or honey brings out a bright pink. So fascinating!
2. Butterfly pea in tea form contains many plant-based antioxidants – hello anti-aging!
3. Butterfly pea flowers are also super rich in anthocyanins that support well-being and can also improve cardiovascular health!
4. Butterfly pea flowers are an adaptogenic herb meaning it is is non-toxic, It helps regulate stress by helping the body adapt to it and It has a positive impact on the body- we can attest to that, we’ve noted reduced anxiety after drinking 2 cups a day for a week or more.
Wait – that’s more than 5 reasons to try the tea – well here is one more…
