Sawasdee ka everyone
In today's video, we're going to make 5 different butterfly pea drinks
that not only are beautiful, but also are very delicious and refreshing
For those of you who don't know me, I'm Nin
and every week I show you a new Thai or Asian recipe
If you are regular, you maybe noticed that last Thursday I didn't upload
Starting today, I will go back to upload one video per week every Monday
because I need some more time to finish my cookbook and some other projects
Also, I think that quality is more important than quantity
But in this one weekly video, more than just the recipe,
I want to show you about Thai lifestyle, especially Chiang Mai Kwan Tee Sai, where I live
I would really appreciate you letting me know what you think about this kind of video
If you like it or not, because in the end, I make these videos for you
And if you are here just for the recipes, no worries
You can always use the chapters to jump straight to that
Alright, so for today's drink, the main thing we need is butterfly pea flowers
You can use dry ones or even powder
But in my case, I was lucky enough to find this flower in the wild
Every morning I walk my dog and this is where I found my butterfly pea flowers
On the way back to home, I met Max
He's my neighbor and also the owner of this field where he comes to work before
And after his day job, Max has always welcomed us, always smiling and up for a talk
He is a very nice person and a great neighbor to have
Now I'm back home and before I go to the market, I'm going to write down the ingredients I need
Since I'm a real goldfish, this helps a lot
I think I wrote everything I need, let's head out
So now I'm back home and I got everything I need
Let's start preparing the drinks
First, we are going to start by making butterfly pea ice cubes
To do so, bring some flowers in a glass jar, then follow with hot water
Stir for a bit and we will let it steep for a few minutes
Before adding blue tea to an ice tray, let it cool down first
After that, we will take it to the freezer and leave it there for 3 to 4 hours
I'm going to start with one of my favorite cocktail, mojito
Except that here, we will do the mocktail version without alcohol
To crush the ice cubes, I like to place them in a ziplock bag
Then crush them with a pestle
And we will transfer it to a box and keep it in the freezer until we are ready to use it
Once your blue ice cubes are ready, crush them the same way as what we just did
But do it for half only
The other half, we will use it as it is later on
Mint is a must-have in mojito, but you can put less or more, according to your taste
We will add half a glass of crushed ice first, then some sugar syrup and some butterfly pea tea
Stir to mix everything well, then add our crushed blue ice
Add some lime juice
Can you see the color is changing from blue to purple?
Top the drink with soda, garnish a little bit
And the beautiful mojito mocktail is ready to freshen up your day
Our next one is butterfly pea lemonade
So first, I'm gonna add lime juice, then add half a glass of crushed ice
And top it with blue ice cubes
Now we are going to add lemonade
Now top the drink with blue tea
And the beautiful fizzy sweet and sour drink is ready to serve
The next one we are going to make is orange butterfly pea ice tea
I'm gonna add some orange jam in the bottom of my glass
You can make this with strawberry jam or peach jam, any jam you like
Add some lime juice and blue tea, then give it a mix
Now we will add a full glass of ice cubes
And pour the butterfly pea tea on top of it
This orange jam with lime juice is so refreshing, it tastes like summer
Before we tackle the latte and the coffee drinks,
please subscribe if you haven't yet,
send the notification on all, and very important, chop that like button
Done?
Okay, let's continue then
Now we are going to make the milk mixture that we will use for the next two drinks
Very easy but very yummy
We will add regular milk in a jar, then follow with condensed milk for sweetness
You can also use honey or just sugar syrup if you want
And give it a mix
Alright, the next one is a really interesting one
that will leave everyone amazed just by looking at it
Butterfly pea tea latte
We are going to add a full glass of ice, then pour the milk mixture in, just almost full
Now, be patient, very patient, add the blue tea, little by little
I'm so in love with this drink, it's almost too beautiful to drink
Our next drink is going to be butterfly pea coffee latte
It's also as delicious as it looks pretty
We are going to add a lot of ice cubes into a glass,
then add our espresso and milk mixture
After that, we'll add blue tea, very gently on top
To be honest, I failed to make this drink more than 5 times
But I didn't want to give up, I really wanted to succeed to show you
And finally, practice makes perfect, so I managed to do it
And here are all our butterfly pea drinks
It's hard to say which one is my favorite
They all look great
But if I have to choose one, I would say the one with the orange jam
And yours? Let me know in the comments which one would be your favorite
