Tropical south east Asia - it’s a vine and you brew the dried flowers. It is great as a tea but for Star Wars fans it makes an awesome latte. Blue Milk is not just on Tatooine it looks awesome in a glass mug Commonly known as the Butterfly Pea Flower Tea, I think it's Vietnamese and Thai mostly but found throughout the Asian tropics. I saw it used as a climber on a garden fence on Christmas Island. Edited May 21, 2022 by Bucket1 1 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket1 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 9 minutes ago, Albert1434 said: So Bucket how would you describe purple tea? How it tastes It’s a bit different to black or green tea. It's a mix of herbal and earthy flavours. I don’t usually add sugar to tea but the combo of honey and sugar makes the world of difference and seems to bring out the flavours in the honey. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket1 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I have made it quite a few times and don’t bother with the garnish of dried flowers on top. They just get soggy. Using a swirl of honey is a much better idea 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a very common flower here. It was the word, tea, that thru me off. The Thais use this to make a refreshing cold drink, add to garden salads and in making one of the types of bite sized Thai deserts. (I love the deserts, but most foreigners don't. The deserts are semi-sweet and sometimes savory using bean curd.) 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The flower is blue and add hot water and all the blueness seeps into the water. Add some acid - lemon or lime juice - and it goes purple. It has been quite popular in cocktails as it magically changes colour. It is great in ice cubes as it slowly melts and changes colour 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bucket1 Posted May 21, 2022 Share Posted May 21, 2022 I bought a carton of 6 boxes of tea to share with my sister and ended up with 6 cartons of it. Luckily I only got charged for the 6 boxes With so many boxes, I shared some for the National Science Week morning tea at work. People loved the colour change. Less happy with risking drinking blue lattes I also used the shiny blue packets as Christmas tree decorations in the office and was asked why we decorated the tree with condoms 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
