prepare to be amazed by one of the most visually stunning drinks you'll ever create. the iced blatcha earth latte combines the earthy green of blatcha with the deep blue-purple of butterfly pea flower, creating layers that look like they were painted by nature herself. it's not just a drink—it's art in a glass.
the magic of butterfly pea flower
butterfly pea flower powder creates the most incredible natural blue color, and when layered with green blatcha, the result is absolutely mesmerizing. but it's not just about looks—butterfly pea flower adds its own subtle floral notes and is packed with antioxidants, making this drink as healthy as it is beautiful.
iced blatcha earth latte recipe
ingredients:
- 1 tsp (2g) blatcha powder
- 3 oz cool water (2 oz for blatcha shot, 1 oz for butterfly pea concentrate)
- 6-8 oz dairy milk or plant milk
- 1 tsp butterfly pea flower powder
- ice
- (optional) sweetener, to taste
preparation:
- prepare a blatcha shot
- in a separate mug make a concentrate by whisking butterfly pea flower powder into 1 oz of water. mix until smooth.

- layer your blatcha shot on top of the drink
- add sweetener, to taste. (optional)
creating the earth effect
the layering technique is crucial for this drink's dramatic visual impact. the deep blue butterfly pea concentrate sits at the bottom, the white or cream-colored milk creates the middle layer, and the vibrant green blatcha shot floats on top. it literally looks like earth and sky in a glass.
flavor profile
while this drink is incredibly photogenic, the flavor is equally impressive. the butterfly pea flower adds a subtle floral note that doesn't compete with the blatcha. together, they create a complex, sophisticated flavor that's earthy, floral, and refreshing all at once.
pro tips for perfect layers
- pour slowly and steadily to maintain distinct layers
- use a spoon to help guide the blatcha shot over the milk
- don't stir immediately—let people admire the beauty first
- different milk types will create different visual effects
