What is Butterfly Pea (Clitoria ternatea) - Petals?

Butterfly Pea, botanically known as Clitoria ternatea, is an extraordinary plant from nature famous for its deep blue flowers. These dried, whole petals from Joy from Nature are frequently used to create a striking, bright blue infusion. The petals contain natural pigments such as anthocyanins, making them perfect as a natural food coloring for various drinks and dishes. This pack contains 50 grams of high-quality petals originating from Thailand.

What is the effect of Butterfly Pea?

Butterfly Pea has long been valued in Ayurvedic tradition. Users experience the tea as a mild, caffeine-free beverage with an earthy flavor. A unique feature of these petals is their reaction to acidity (pH level). When you add an acid like lemon or lime to the blue infusion, the color instantly changes to a vibrant purple or pink. This visual transformation makes using Butterfly Pea a truly special experience.

How do you use Butterfly Pea?

You can use the dried petals in various ways in the kitchen and beyond:

• For a cup of tea: Use one teaspoon of petals per cup of hot water and let it steep for 5 to 10 minutes until the liquid turns an intense blue. You can also try traditional combinations with other herbs or teas, such as lemongrass or chamomile.
• For a color change: Add a squeeze of lemon or lime juice to the blue tea to change its color to purple or pink.
• As a natural food coloring: Use the infusion as a base for blue lattes, cocktails, mocktails, or to give baked goods a natural blue color.
• For external applications: The petals are also highly suitable for use in DIY cosmetics, such as making natural soap or face masks.
