Prep & Cook Time

Prep time: 5 minutes

Cook time: 5 minutes

Total time: 10 minutes

Serves: 1 glass

Ingredients

• 2 oz (about 60 ml) butterfly pea tea (sweetened to taste with honey, simple syrup, or agave)
• 1 cup milk (plant-based or dairy, depending on your preference)
• 1 tsp Organic Ceremonial Matcha
• (Optional) Flower-shaped ice cubes for a poetic, extra-pretty finish

Instructions

1. Make the butterfly pea tea: Steep butterfly pea tea in hot water (about 60 ml). Sweeten with your preferred option (honey, simple syrup, or agave). Let it cool completely.
2. Prepare the matcha: Sift 1 tsp of matcha into a bowl. Add a small splash of hot (not boiling) water and whisk vigorously with a bamboo whisk until smooth and lightly frothy.
3. Assemble: Fill a tall glass with ice. Pour in the butterfly pea tea, then gently add the milk. Slowly pour the matcha on top to create beautiful, layered colours.

Tips & variations

For a stunning visual effect, use flower-shaped ice cubes. Adjust the amount of tea or matcha to suit your taste. You can also choose vanilla-flavoured plant milk for a naturally sweeter touch.

Nutrition highlights

Matcha is naturally rich in catechins—especially EGCG, a powerful antioxidant. It supports focus, contributes to immune defence, and offers steady energy without the jitters. Butterfly pea tea is known for its anthocyanins, appreciated for their role in supporting memory and helping protect against oxidative stress. Together, they create a drink that’s as nourishing as it is beautiful.

When to enjoy it

Perfect for Earth Day, but also ideal for brunch, a wellbeing break, or a calm moment of meditation. Serve it chilled for a refreshing, zen, and uplifting experience.

Diet-friendly

Suitable for vegan, lactose-free, and gluten-free diets (when using plant-based milk). A lovely choice for anyone who cares about what they sip—without compromising on aesthetics.
