Make Moon Milk Tea in 10 minutes or less with minimal ingredients. Moon Milk Tea, which includes chamomile and butterfly pea flower tea, offers a soothing addition to your nighttime routine. Drink Moon Milk Tea tonight to enjoy a blue beverage and other benefits. Moon Milk Tea is a simple one-pot recipe that can help you unwind after a busy day.
Adding butterfly pea tea boosts the beverage's color and other mild flavors that blend with milk and chamomile flavors. Milk adds a comforting taste to the beverage, and cinnamon adds other warm, spicy flavors that complement the other ingredients.
When making milk-based dishes, simmer milk slowly and thoroughly to heat it but not boil it, producing a smooth milk drink. Avoiding common errors, such as boiling milk when making a milk drink, will help prevent curdling. Straining milk before serving can help eliminate other particles that may interfere with a smooth milk drink.
Serve Moon Milk Tea in a mug. Top with cinnamon or dried butterfly pea flowers for garnish and decoration. Moon Milk Tea will stay fresh in the refrigerator for up to two days. Reheat refrigerated Moon Milk Tea gently before serving to retain its creamy texture.
