AWAFI MILL Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea) – Dried Blue Blossoms | Natural Sapphire Tea and Food Coloring for Hot/Iced Infusions , Rice and Desserts -100 g | 3.5 Oz

AWAFI MILL Butterfly Pea Flower (Clitoria ternatea) delivers stunning, natural blue color with a calm, earthy cup that works hot or iced. Brew it on its own for a sapphire herbal tea, or add citrus to watch the liquor shift to violet and pink—perfect for layered mocktails and party pitchers. In the kitchen, its neutral taste makes it a versatile natural coloring for rice, coconut milk desserts, jellies, frosting, and latte art. Blend with lemongrass, mint, ginger, or jasmine to add aroma while keeping the dramatic color front and center.
