Blue Tea

Blue tea and blue textiles. We were served blue tea at the Laos Textile Museum.It is Butterfly pea, a herbal tea made from a Southeast Asian flower (Clitoria ternatea)  and seems to be very trendy  as an additivie in food and drinks in Vientiane cafes, which follow the trends set in Bangkok. When I added a squeeze of lime it transformed into an elegant lilac/violet colour. As a chemist I loved it!!
