✓ Place 1 tablespoon of dried butterfly pea flowers into a mug.

✓ Pour 1 cup of hot water over the flowers, ensuring they are fully submerged.

✓ Allow the mixture to steep for about 5 minutes or until the water turns a vibrant blue color. Stir occasionally to ensure even steeping.

✓ Use a fine-mesh strainer to strain out any solid bits from the butterfly tea, returning the liquid to the mug or pouring it into a blender if you plan on blending with milk later.

✓ If using a blender, add 1 tablespoon of vanilla syrup along with the strained butterfly tea and blend until well combined but not too frothy.

✓ Pour in ⅓ cup of ice-cold whole milk (or your preferred dairy-free alternative) and stir thoroughly to combine.

✓ Once the drink is well mixed, add a few ice cubes to chill it without diluting its flavor too much. Stir gently to distribute the coldness evenly throughout the mixture.

✓ Pour the latte into a glass and serve immediately.
