In Malaysia we made the rice blue by soakinh rice with the butterfly pea flower. It’s not just for tea.

I got my drink to turn yellowish pink but I think that's because I added lemon when there was already pineapple in the tea bag. Still good tho!

There's one called a Spurred Butterfly Pea that is native to the southern/southeastern untiled states. I wonder if they can be used for the same purpose?

[wewenang]

lol this grows like weeds in my backyard....i had to get rid of some of it...its not everyday that i cook blue food or tea xD...so i dont need it that much. We used it to cook blue rice and sweets.

I had this several years ago at a restaurant in a "magic cocktail" (Google butterfly pea flower cocktails). Recently I was in SF Chinatown and bought some at Red Blossom Tea Company. I personally don't think it has a discernable taste at all - just good for hydration and all the health benefits. I can't wait to try the lavender lemonade, matcha latte and buy some powder. Thank you for such an informative video!

[RAA_the_editor]

If you add orange to the tea will it also change colours?

[gorgious]

[madsammer]
