Blue Latte
Hey friends! I wanted to share this simple but oh-so-pretty recipe that’s been bringing a little magic to my mornings lately. If you’ve never tried a blue latte before—today’s the day. 💫
This Blue Latte is more than just a beautiful drink for your Instagram feed (although, let’s be honest, it is stunning). It’s also full of powerful antioxidants and anti-inflammatory plant compounds that can be especially helpful for those of us navigating the changes that come with menopause and aging skin.
I love sipping this as a calming start to the day, or even as a mid-afternoon moment of beauty and wellness. And yes—you can absolutely top it with dried rose petals for a touch of main character energy.

What You’ll Need:
- ½ cup hot water
- 1 scoop blue butterfly pea flower powder
- Frothed plant-based milk (I love oat or almond)
- Optional: dried edible rose petals for garnish
Kitchen Tips
- I highly recommend investing in a handheld milk frother. They’re affordable, fun to use, and give your latte that barista-level finish.
- If you don’t have dried rose petals on hand, try a tiny sprinkle of cinnamon or edible gold dust (yes, it’s a thing!).
- For a cold version, just pour everything over ice and stir well—instant iced blue latte.
Let’s Talk Health Benefits
This dreamy blue drink isn’t just pretty—it’s packed with wellness perks:
- Butterfly pea flower is loaded with anthocyanins, which are plant compounds that help support skin elasticity and fight oxidative stress.
- It’s also naturally caffeine-free and known to have calming properties, making it a gentle choice for mornings or evenings.
- Some research even suggests it may support memory and cognitive health—which is something I know many of us are mindful of during and after menopause.
- And bonus—because it’s caffeine-free, you can drink it anytime without worrying about sleep disruptions or jittery side effects.
