Inspired by my old teacher I've decided to make a blue butterfly pea tea. The scientific name of the plant is Clitoria Ternatea a.k.a Asian pigeonwings. 

I've combined this tea with lemongrass (Cymbopogon citratus ) to give it some lovely flavor to it. 

In my search for information what Blue Butterfly pea tea all about is. I came up with benefits to the human body. Some of the benefits are:
- The Nervous System – Butterfly Pea has a calming effect on the brain
- The Digestive System – Butterfly Pea is an antiemetic (anti-nausea), 
    antidypsetic (anti-indigestion), mild-laxative and cholagogue
    (stimulates flow of bile from liver)
- The Circulatory System – Butterfly Pea is a haemostatic 
      (helps stop bleeding) and a blood purifier
- The Respiratory System – Butterfly Pea acts as an expectorant and 
     has shown to reduce the irritation of respiratory organs, useful in 
      treating colds, coughs and even asthma.
- The Urinary System – Butterfly Pea is a diuretic, helping promote 
     normal urination and can be used for dysuria (difficulty urinating)
- The Reproductive System: Butterfly Pea is reported to be 
     spermatogenic, aiding in normal sperm production
-  The Integumentary System – Pre-maturing ageing is often a problem
    of the skin. Flavonoids present in Butterfly Pea have been found 
    to boost collagen production, increasing the skin elasticity.
