A Butterfly Pea ( Clitoria ternatea ) flower [ Bunga Telang ]

The Butterfly Pea ( Clitoria ternatea ) flower tea [ Teh Bunga Telang ]

Directions For Use :

1.  To prepare Butterfly Pea Flower Tea, you may follow the steps below:

1) Quick rinse about 10 dried flowers and steep them in a cup of hot water. 

2) Let sit for 15 minutes.

3) When there is no colour left in the petal, strain the liquid and discard the flowers. You will be left with an amazing indigo-coloured broth.

4) Add some sugar if you prefer it sweet.
5) The tea is then, ready to be enjoyed.

Additional tips : Fresh or dried lemongrass can be added during steeping to improve its flavour. The tea can also be consumed with some drops of lime juice to create a sweet ‘n’ sour flavour and turn the luminous indigo to a deeper purple colour tea. Simply mixing the tea with fuchsia roselle hibiscus would turn the tea to a bright red colour.

2. For colouring use, Butterfly Pea flower juice may be prepared using the same steps ( step 1 to step 3 ) as listed above. Or simply by adding a few ( quick-rinsed ) dried flowers into say, the rice cooker at the time of cooking.
