I remember 2 years ago when a close friend asked me, would you like to drink blue ternate tea? I had never touched nor tried it yet the time she ask me, I had constantly seen that plant in my friend's fb post. Well, they have many blue ternate plant in their garden so she offered some of it to me for free. That was the first time I had tried to drink blue ternate infusion when she brought some of it at home.
Hey Hivers!
When I returned back to Cebu last January this year, I thought I could no longer drink this blue ternate infusion because I haven't seen it here unlike in Leyte.
I was surprised when my cousin's wife told me that she have blue ternate in her garden and she and his husband (my cousin) drink that too.
Do you have this plant at home?
According to my friend 2 years ago, our neighbors in Leyte are also consumer of this plant because it was known to cure some illness. I don't know how true it is.
As I made research about this on the internet, this is also called butterfly pea and I had read some benefits of this plant.
According to research, there are health benefits that we could get from this plant and here's some of it.
Benefits of Blue Ternate
Butterfly flower power tea has several health benefits. Consuming this tea regularly can improve the overall health of the brain, skin, hair, and body. However, it may not completely cure a medical condition. Serious medical conditions, such as cancer, Alzheimer’s, dementia, diabetes, hypertension, or serious skin and/or hair problems, require medical attention. If you are undergoing medical treatment for a particular medical condition, you may consult with your doctor if you can take butterfly pea flower tear alongside the medical treatment. Butterfly flower power tea is found to be safe in pregnant women as well. However, consult with your doctor before drinking the tea during pregnancy.

Last week, my cousin's wife gave this to us because she has already enough blue ternate for their own consumption. My brother and his wife drink that infusion and they love it too.
Some people will drink this infusion with a little twist. They will add a little amount of lemon juice.
How about you? Have you tried this already?
How was your experience?

Namaste! I am fond of reading books, watching korean, american and filipino series/movies and I am also fond of gardening. I love listening to different life stories and I am always captivated with the beauty of nature so travel is my escape when life turns into blue. But hey, how could I forget my photography hobby? It is one of the best, so follow me as I will be featuring my experiences of the stuff that I am passionate with.
