Method
 

Step‑by‑Step Instructions for Moon Milk Tea
  1. Start by boiling 1 cup of water in a small saucepan over medium heat. Once it reaches a rolling boil, remove it from heat and add 1-2 teaspoons of butterfly pea flower tea. Let it steep for 5-7 minutes until it turns a deep blue color, then strain the tea leaves into a cup, setting the vibrant brew aside.
  2. In a clean saucepan, pour in 1 cup of your choice of milk and place it over medium heat. Stir gently as it warms, watching for steam to rise, which indicates it's close to hot but not boiling. Maintain this heating for about 3-5 minutes until the milk is steaming and frothy but still smooth, avoiding a rolling boil.
  3. Carefully pour the brewed butterfly pea flower tea into a large mug, creating a beautiful base color. Next, slowly add the warmed milk to the cup, allowing them to blend harmoniously, creating a dreamy swirl of blue and white.
  4. Sprinkle in a dash of cinnamon and your preferred sweetener, whether honey or agave, to the mug. Stir gently with a spoon, ensuring that the cinnamon is well-dispersed and the sweetener has dissolved.
  5. Your Moon Milk Tea is now ready to serve! Pour the mixture into a cozy mug if not already in one, optionally garnishing with an extra sprinkle of cinnamon.
