Ingredients

Scale

Moon Milk Tea Ingredients

  • 1 cup milk (dairy or plant-based such as oat, almond, or coconut)
  • 1 teaspoon butterfly pea tea (loose leaf or teabag)
  • ¼ teaspoon ground cinnamon
  • 1 teaspoon honey (or adjust to taste)

Instructions

  1. Warm the milk: Place the milk in a small saucepan over medium heat. Heat gently—do not bring it to a boil—just until the milk is steaming and ready for steeping.
  2. Steep the butterfly pea: Add the butterfly pea tea into the warm milk. Allow it to steep for 3 to 5 minutes until the milk turns a rich blue color. Afterwards, strain out the tea leaves or remove the teabag.
  3. Stir in cinnamon & honey: Mix in the ground cinnamon and honey, stirring thoroughly until both are fully dissolved. Adjust the sweetness according to your preference.
  4. (Optional) Froth the milk: If you like a foamy texture, whisk vigorously by hand or use a milk frother to create light foam on top of the tea.
  5. Serve & garnish: Pour the tea into your favorite mug and sprinkle a pinch of cinnamon on top as a finishing touch. Sip slowly and enjoy as part of your calming evening routine.

Notes

  • You can use any type of milk you prefer, including dairy or plant-based alternatives.
  • Adjust the honey quantity based on your desired sweetness level.
  • Butterfly pea tea gives the milk a natural, vibrant blue hue, which changes to purple with the addition of acidic ingredients if desired.
  • For a vegan version, use plant-based milk and a suitable sweetener instead of honey.
  • To enhance the flavor, you can add a small piece of fresh ginger during steeping or a drop of vanilla extract.
