Ingredients
Blue Moon Milk Ingredients
- 1 cup almond milk
- 1 teaspoon blue butterfly pea flower powder
- 1/2 teaspoon coconut oil
- 1/2 teaspoon honey
- 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
- Pinch nutmeg
- Pinch cardamom
Instructions
- Heat the Milk and Butterfly Pea Powder: Whisk the almond milk and blue butterfly pea flower powder together over medium-low heat until the milk just becomes steamy. This allows the powder to infuse its vibrant blue color and subtle floral flavor into the milk without boiling.
- Add Remaining Ingredients: Remove the milk mixture from the heat and whisk in the coconut oil, honey, vanilla extract, and a pinch each of nutmeg and cardamom. This combines the warming spices and sweeteners evenly throughout the drink.
- Blend Until Frothy: Pour the beverage into a high-speed or bullet-style blender and blend for 30 seconds to 1 minute. This aerates the drink, creating a smooth and frothy texture that enhances its creamy mouthfeel.
- Serve and Enjoy: Pour the frothy Blue Moon Milk into a cup and enjoy immediately for a comforting and visually stunning drink.
Notes
- Use a gentle heat to avoid boiling the almond milk which can alter its taste and texture.
- If you prefer a vegan option, substitute honey with maple syrup or agave nectar.
- Adjust the amount of spices to taste for a milder or stronger flavor profile.
- The blue butterfly pea flower powder gives the drink its signature deep blue color that fades to purple when lemon juice is added—try experimenting with citrus for visual and flavor variations.
- Ensure to use a good quality almond milk for the best flavor and creaminess.
