Instructions
- Boil Water: Heat 1 liter of water in a tea kettle until it reaches a rolling boil.

Notes
- Use a natural liquid sweetener like maple syrup or agave syrup for a healthier alternative to refined sugar.
- Butterfly pea powder gives the latte a beautiful natural blue hue that may change slightly when mixed with acidic ingredients or creamer.
- Adjust the amount of blueberry extract and sweetener to suit your taste preferences.
- The iced latte is best served fresh but can be stored refrigerated for up to 24 hours.
- For a stronger blueberry flavor, consider adding fresh or frozen blueberries blended into the beverage before chilling.
