Butterfly pea flower is so-named because it is a member of the pea family with notched tips on the flowers that give blooms the appearance of a butterfly in flight. However, ironically, the plant is generally ignored by butterflies, despite its bright blue color. While plants in the wild produce flowers that range from deep blue to lavender, some cultivars have white or pink flowers, a few with semi-double blooms. Use butterfly pea flower make tea or in combination with other herbs, such as lemon peel, hibiscus, rose hips, or lemongrass. The herb is also excellent in cold drinks and in cocktails. In Thai cooking, the flower is used to lend color to rice salads and sweets.
