Ingredients
Scale
- 1 cup (240 ml / 8 fl oz) milk (whole, cashew, or almond)
- 1 tbsp (15 ml / 0.5 fl oz) maple syrup
- 1 tsp (5 g) butterfly pea flower powder
- ¼ tsp (0.5 g) ground cinnamon
- 1 pinch freshly ground nutmeg
- ¼ tsp (0.5 g) ashwagandha powder
Instructions
- Infusion Preparation: In a small saucepan, combine milk with butterfly pea powder, maple syrup, cinnamon, and nutmeg over gentle heat, whisking continuously to ensure smooth integration and complete dissolution of all powdery ingredients.
- Temperature Control: Maintain a low, steady temperature, gently warming the liquid without triggering aggressive bubbling or boiling, which could compromise the delicate flavor profile.
- Textural Enhancement: Employ a handheld milk frother or traditional whisk to create a luxurious, cloud-like foam, transforming the beverage into a café-style experience with rich, velvety texture.
- Presentation Finale: Pour the azure-tinted milk into a preheated ceramic mug, then garnish the surface with a delicate sprinkle of ground butterfly pea flowers, elevating both visual aesthetics and aromatic complexity.
Notes
- Optimize Powder Dissolution: Whisk ingredients thoroughly to prevent clumping and ensure a smooth, evenly colored milk texture without lumps.
- Control Heat Carefully: Maintain low temperature to preserve nutritional integrity and prevent scorching, which can alter the delicate flavor profile of butterfly pea powder.
- Froth for Luxury: Use a milk frother or vigorous whisking to create a creamy, café-style foam that elevates the sensory experience of the drink.
- Garnish with Precision: Sprinkle ground butterfly pea flowers just before serving to maximize visual impact and enhance the aromatic complexity of the milk.
