Blue Matcha Season: Butterfly Pea Flower Drinks To Try At Home

 Blue matcha is having a moment! 🌸💙 Unlike traditional green matcha (which comes from green tea leaves), blue matcha is made from dried butterfly pea flowers (Clitoria ternatea). It’s caffeine-free, rich in antioxidants (anthocyanins), and turns a stunning deep blue that can shift to purple with lemon juice.

Here are some delicious butterfly pea flower drink ideas you can try at home:
