Summer is almost here, and that means we’re transforming our cozy hot matcha lattes into all of our favorite iced elixirs.
If you’ve been here for more than 0.0001 seconds, you know we’re obsessed with matcha here at Poosh. But if you’re a fan of our ingredient spotlights, you just may be familiar with our newest antioxidant obsession: blue butterfly pea flower.
This potent flower can be steeped into a tea or ground into a powder for multiple uses—think elixirs (similar to matcha in the way it’s mixed, but sans the caffeine), baking, DIY skincare, and more. It turns everything into a gorgeous, deep, rich shade of blue, which is so novel because rarely are foods of this hue found in nature!
Blue butterfly pea flower contains lots of antioxidants, soothing compounds, and anti-inflammatory effects with a mildly earthy, almost sweet flavor. Overall, it’s a matcha made in in heaven—get it?
