Notes

Store any unused butterfly pea flower tea concentrate in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days, so you can easily whip up another beautiful latte anytime.
This refreshing drink is meant to be enjoyed chilled, so skip the reheating and simply add fresh ice if your latte loses its cool.
For the most dramatic effect, serve your vibrant latte immediately after squeezing in the lemon or lime juice, allowing guests to witness the enchanting color change firsthand.
To achieve stunning visual layers before the magical transformation, carefully pour your cold milk over the back of a spoon held just above the ice, letting it gently cascade on top of the tea.
