Dried Butterfly Pea Flower 2 oz

Selected premium butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea), also known as Blue Butterfly flowers. Features intact calyxes and deep blue pigmentation for stable color infusion. Rich in anthocyanins and Vitamins A, C, and E.

How to Use:

Classic Herbal Tea:​ Steep 5–6 dried flowers in water (below 176°F / 80°C) for 5 minutes to yield a vibrant sapphire-blue brew.

Color-Changing Magic:​ Add a splash of lemon or lime juice to instantly transform the tea from deep blue to vivid purple-red. This natural reaction of anthocyanins with acid creates the signature "magic" effect popular in viral beverages.

Flavor Pairings:​ Sweeten with honey, cool down with mint, or add depth by blending with green or white tea. For a traditional Thai twist, infuse with lemongrass and ginger.

Baking & Desserts:​ Grind flowers into powder (1–2 tsp) to mix into dough or batter for blue crepe cakes, bread, or mochi. Alternatively, substitute plain water with brewed blue tea when preparing desserts.

Natural Food Coloring:​ Create traditional Thai blue sticky rice (a Songkran Festival delicacy). Use the brewed liquid to cook rice or prepare colorful noodles and pastries.

Cocktails & Craft Spirits:​ Infuse gin or vodka with dried flowers to craft "mood-changing" Blue Pea Cocktails, a staple in trendy bars.
