Hot Blue Ternate Tea

Ingredients
1 cup hot water
10 fresh or dried Blue Ternate flowers
*you can also add lime, dried lemon grass, honey or sugar for those who love sweet tea, ginger and cinnamon as an additional flavoring but this is optional.

Procedure
First, put your fresh or dried Blue Ternate flowers on a cup of hot water. Then steep it for around 10 to 15 minutes. Let it steep until the blue color of the flowers dissipates into the water. When the water starts to turn blue you can now strain it to remove the flowers. If you want a little twist in your hot Blue Tea you can add any of those mentioned above like lime juice, honey or sugar. Now you can enjoy your Homemade Hot Blue Tea.

Blue Ternate Iced Tea

For those who love Iced tea, make sure to add this recipe in your list.

Ingredients
1 cup hot water
10 fresh or dried Blue Ternate flowers
Ice cubes
*you can also add lime, dried lemon grass, honey or sugar for those who love sweet tea, ginger and cinnamon as an additional flavoring but this is optional.

Procedure
First, put your fresh or dried Blue Ternate flowers on a cup of hot water. Then steep it for around 10 to 15 minutes. Let it steep until the blue color of the flowers dissipates into the water. When the water starts to turn blue you can now strain it to remove the flowers. You can add dried lemon grass, cinnamon or any of those mentioned above. But personally, I recommend you to add lime juice and honey. If lime juice and honey are not available in your home you can use kalamansi and sugar instead. Then mix it well. After adding lime/kalamansi juice the blue color will turn into purple. The amount of lime juice depends on your preference. But for me I like adding half or a tablespoon of lime juice for every cup of Blue Ternate iced tea. Now it’s time to add some ice cubes. This recipe is ideal for summer outings, special gatherings and as refreshment to cool down your busy brain.
