Hello Hivers
What's up drink lovers wherever you are, I'm back to share something interesting this time, namely herbal tea which has recently been quite interested in the community because the properties contained in it are very beneficial for human health, and not only that, what's interesting about this tea is the color displayed by him, and today I experimented with making three colors from the same material, no need to linger, let's start the following discussion
Of course you have seen the tea above, haven't you, the blue flower is the flower TELANG which can also be included in the herbal plant which is often made into tea, and to start experiments this, then prepare the following ingredients, here I will make 3 cups of telang tea with different variations, and because the way to process it is easy, you don't need to worry, and just follow what I wrote below
- Telang flowers
- A tablespoon of granulated sugar solution
- 100ml of whole milk
- 200ml hot water
- Ice cubes
- two limes (lemons)
Those are the ingredients that we will use, and from all of these ingredients we can make three glasses of herbal tea with different color variations and flavors, but in no way reduce the value of the health benefits contained therein.
And here I'm using a butterfly pea flower that I just picked in my yard, I happen to have a lot of these plants in my home area, but most people use dried butterfly pea flowers, so that the liquid produced from the sediment is thicker, but I think it doesn't matter, the color is the same, and so are the benefits, and now we start the manufacturing process, and we start with the natural version of this herbal tea and the follow the steps
The steps are actually very easy for both the natural and other versions, we only need to soak the butterfly pea flowers simultaneously for all versions, it's just that for the other clean we will add some other ingredients
Well, the first step is, first wash the butterfly pea flowers (if you also use flowers that haven't been dried), then put 15-20 butterfly pea flowers into a container, and pour the hot water that we have prepared, just 200ml of hot water, let stand for a few minutes until the butterfly pea flower solution starts to give off a blue color like in the last picture
If the color has started to thicken, then we will immediately put it in the glass, for the first let's start with the natural version
For the natural version, it's very easy, just put ice cubes into a glass according to your taste, then add 100 ml of the boiled tea that we soaked earlier and leave another 100 ml for the other version, after that add plain water or ice cubes until all the glasses are filled full, then it should look like in the last image, and after that put the glass on the other side, because we're going to prepare another version
Now for this version, first of all, split the lime that we have prepared, and squeeze some of it, according to your taste, then add some of the other lime pieces, followed by ice cubes, and after that add the granulated sugar solution. we have prepared
After that, put 50 ml of boiled tea into a glass, then the appearance will immediately change, from blue to purple, the sugar solution at the bottom also makes it look more attractive with lime juice, the taste is also fresher, you can also use honey to this version, but I don't like honey, lime can also be replaced with lemon, so the end result of this second version is as follows
That's the result of this second version, you can see for yourself the difference in color between the natural version and the version where we have added several other ingredients, both in terms of color and taste, they are much different, however, the benefits are still the same, even if you don't add ice cubes again the color will still look like the picture above
And now is the final version, which is my favorite version of telan tea, almost every morning I consume this tea, here are the results
Now, for this final version, put in the ice cubes as before, then pour all the rest of the tea and add pure milk according to your individual tastes, here I add about 100 ml of pure milk to a glass and that's it, then you get the results See for yourself below, and I'd love to hear from you which is the best version of my creation
--
Which color do you like, everything is very beautiful and very fresh, the taste also varies like the color, for the natural one it doesn't taste like anything, like plain water even though it has a blue color, while for the other versions it has a mixed taste of the ingredients we put in, it's all in your hands, you can follow all the steps I've outlined to make whichever version you prefer, and again, the benefits remain the same
Talking about the benefits, as far as I know this herbal tea has dozens of health benefits, such as increasing endurance, reducing hair loss, and skin health, for more details you can see for yourself on the internet, apart from that, this butterfly pea flower is also often used as a natural dye for food, and the method is the same, namely using the soaked butterfly pea leaves, that's why this butterfly pea flower is quite popular, even the price on the market is quite expensive, especially in well-known cafes, if we order this tea, the price can reach IDR 20,000 per glass , and that is for the natural version of tea like I make, but I never buy it, because this butterfly pea is very easy to grow, and can survive quite a bit, I will show you the tree where I picked this butterfly pea
This tree is only about 6 months old, and this plant is a type of vine, that's why I deliberately planted it on the side fence of the house so they can spread as wide as they want, and I also have this plant in the backyard, but because it's already lengthwise I didn't pick that one there
For this time, that's all I can share, I hope it's useful for all of us and see you soon 😊
Happy weekend 🙏
