Strawberry Butterfly Pea Flower Tea Latte
A refreshing red, white, and blue iced latte - strawberry puree, oat milk, and butterfly pea flower tea make up this fun drink!
As mentioned in this post, the butterfly pea flower imparts a beautiful blue color, but doesn't taste much like anything. In the end, this "latte" tastes just like strawberry milk!
