Among the festival’s cherished traditions is the giving of red envelopes, or "hongbao", which symbolise wishes for good fortune and blessings in the new year. Red dominates the festival’s decor. “Red represents wishes for happiness and good fortune, and it also symbolizes family reunions and the joy of togetherness,” said Ribeiro Silva, a young musician from São Paulo. “During Spring Festival, these values hold special importance.”   For Luis Antonio Paulino, director of the Confucius Institute at São Paulo State University, adding Spring Festival to the UNESCO list is about “preserving the history of humanity itself.”  Dating back thousands of years, the festival continues to connect people across the globe.   In an increasingly divided world, Spring Festival stands as a powerful reminder of humanity’s shared values. UNESCO’s recognition marks the beginning of a new chapter, ensuring that these traditions will inspire generations to come.   “Each element, each heritage, is important,” de Gorostiaga said. “And Chinese culture, of course, is an ancient and beautiful culture that transmits many values to us.” (Xinhua)   🎉 Celebrate the New Year with LUCKY Ang Pow! 🧧 From 06/01/2025 to 29/01/2025, every order placed with My Blue Tea will come with a LUCKY Ang Pow (Red Packet) filled with a surprise – it could be lucky money or a gift!

Craft your own Gin with MyBlueTea Superfood Powders Ever thought about crafting your own Blue Gin at home similar to Inked Gin? Now you can, and cheaper then the cost of commercial gin! Unlock the secrets to a beautifully vibrant and flavourful gin experience. Mark's Botanical Gin, Pandan Gin and Butterfly Pea Gin Here’s a fantastic gin recipe using the " Still Method, " generously shared by Mark Watson. Mark had ordered a large pack of Butterfly Pea flowers online, and after a quick chat, he was excited to try our Pandan Coconut Gin. We absolutely love when you're adventurous enough to explore new flavors with our Superfood powders! And guess what? Mark and his wife made a special appearance at the Festival of Cake in Melbourne this September. It’s always a joy catching up with you—so please, stay in touch! The Still Method is a traditional and essential process used in the production of gin (and many other spirits). This method involves the use of a pot still or column still to distill the alcohol and extract flavours from the botanicals used in gin-making. Butterfly Pea Gin Method using a Still Ingredients   1.    3 litres of 95% Alcohol 2.    150 grams of Juniper berries 3.    50 grams of Cardamon pods 4.    30 grams of coriander seeds 5.    1 stick of cinnamon 6.    10 grams of @my.blue.tea Butterfly Pea powder 7.    Peel of 1 lemon 8.    50 grams of @my.blue.tea Butterfly pea flower 9.    5 litres of water   Why the Still Method is Important The Still method allows for complete control over the flavours extracted from the botanicals and ensures that only the finest aromas and tastes are captured. Distillers can experiment with different botanical blends, distillation times, and techniques to create a gin that is unique and full of character. It's a craft process that combines tradition, artistry, and science to create the perfect gin in every bottle. MyBlueTea Superfoods Bundle - Check it Out! Butterfly Pea Gin Process :- (1) Put the alcohol and water into your still, combine the botanicals and Butterfly powder into a muslin bag and either immerse it in the water or suspend it from the base of you still with a measuring jug under the outlet. (2) Turn on you still, disgard the first 150 ml of the output collect the remainder in bottles until the temperature in the column reaches 80C and then turn off the still. (3) Check the alcohol level of each bottle (the gin will be clear at this point) Pass all the gin through a carbon filter and add sufficient distilled water to the top of the filter to bring the alcohol level to 45%. For example if you have 2.5 litres of 95% gin add 2.5 litres of water. (4) You now have approx. 5litres of clear gin with alcohol level of 45%. (5) Put 50 grams of Butterfly Pea loose tea into a glass or stainless container and add the gin, leave for 48 hours stirring regularly. (6) Remove the flowers (tea leaves) from the liquid, I use a measuring jug to pour the liquid into a kitchen sieve pressing the leaves firmly to extract the maximum liquid. (7) Final step is to strain the ink coloured gin through a fine muslin or clean calf length stocking into your bottles and lable your gin. (8) Store in a dark place, enjoy with your taste in mixer the colour will change depending on your mixer. If you're a Gin lover but don't have the time (or think the above sounds like too much work), don't worry!

Wow Your Friends with This Colourful and Refreshing Sangria! Looking for a drink that’s as stunning as it is delicious? Try our Roselle + Butterfly Pea Flower Sangria ! Combining the tangy, floral notes of Roselle with the vibrant blue hues of Butterfly Pea, this sangria is guaranteed to be the star of your next gathering. Here's how to make this show-stopping drink: Ingredients: Roselle Syrup or Roselle tea (for a natural tangy sweetness) Butterfly Pea Flower Powder or Butterfly Pea Tea (for that mesmerizing blue color) Fresh citrus fruits (lemons, oranges, limes) A mix of your favorite fruits (berries, apple slices, grapes) Your choice of white wine (or a non-alcoholic version) A touch of honey or agave (optional) Sparkling water (for a fizzy finish) Instructions: Start by brewing your Butterfly Pea tea or dissolving the Butterfly Pea powder in water. Let it steep and turn that brilliant blue hue! If you're using the powder, a little goes a long way, so just 1-2 teaspoons should do the trick. In a large pitcher, add a generous splash of Roselle syrup or brewed Roselle tea . This will give the sangria a beautifully tangy, sweet base that complements the earthy floral flavor of the Butterfly Pea. Squeeze the juice of your fresh citrus fruits into the pitcher, and slice the remaining fruits into bite-sized pieces. You can go wild with your fruit choices—berries, pineapple, and even peaches would work wonders. Pour in your chosen wine (white wine adds a light, crisp flavour) and stir well to combine the ingredients. For that extra touch of sparkle, top off the mixture with a splash of sparkling water or soda. This adds a refreshing fizz that balances the floral and fruity flavours. Serve over ice and enjoy the mesmerizing transformation of colours as the deep blue of the Butterfly Pea mingles with the rich red tones of the Roselle, creating a vibrant and stunning sangria. If you like, you can even garnish with fresh mint leaves for an aromatic finish or like us we used orange pieces. Why this Sangria is a Game Changer: Vibrant Colour: Thanks to the Butterfly Pea powder or tea, your Sangria will have an enchanting blue colour that shifts as you add the tangy Roselle syrup. It’s sure to be the conversation starter at any party. Antioxidant-Rich: Both Roselle and Butterfly Pea are packed with antioxidants, so you're not just indulging in a delicious beverage—you’re giving your body a healthy boost too (with the non alcohol version). Perfect for All Occasions: Whether it’s a summer picnic, a holiday gathering, or just a casual evening with friends, this sangria makes any event feel extra special. Tips to Elevate Your Sangria: For an added depth of flavor, let the sangria chill in the fridge for a few hours before serving. The fruits will infuse the drink with their natural sweetness. Try experimenting with different sweeteners—honey, agave, or even a splash of fruit juice can change the flavor profile. If you prefer a non-alcoholic version, simply swap the wine for sparkling fruit juice or kombucha for a delightful, fizzy drink! This Roselle and Butterfly Pea Sangria is not just a drink; it’s an experience! Let the colors and flavors wow your guests, while the health benefits of our My Blue Tea products keep you feeling great. Cheers to vibrant, healthy drinks!

About Chef Jeff Simonetta Cooking is in his blood Jeffrey Vincent Simonetta is an Australian–Italian Chef whom has worked under some of Australia’s most influential Chefs. Even from a young age whilst cooking with his mother and grandparents, his greatest desire was to be a chef. It wasn’t until the age of 14 that he was presented with his first opportunity by landing a job in a bakery before school and on weekends. This path eventually lead to Jeffrey receiving two 100% marks, topping Australia in cookery, and landing him an apprenticeship at Rockpool, the best restaurant in Australia at the time, a year before he left high school. His family background, thick with Italian culture,influenced the way in which he sees cooking and produce. It taught him that;“To be Italian is to be passionate. It is to intimately taste wine, sauce, and ripe olives, as well as appreciating simplicity and nature, from the fragrance of the spring air, the skill of the sculptor, and the soul of the painter. It means to belong to a gene pool influenced by some of the most interesting cultures in history and translate those onto a plate”. Growing up in Australia with such a multi-cultural food influence, his training in fusion cooking, and the easy availability of amazing produce have provided a perfect platform for Jeff to showcase his creativity. Join the Satay Pizza Craze! We hope you’re inspired to try making Satay pizza at home. It’s a fantastic way to bring together the bold flavors of Southeast Asia and the comforting familiarity of pizza.

This vibrant root vegetable isn't just beautiful—it’s packed with nutritional benefits that can take your smoothie to the next level. Let’s explore why you should consider adding Purple Sweet Potato to your next smoothie. 1. Rich in Antioxidants One of the standout benefits of Purple Sweet Potato is its high antioxidant content, particularly anthocyanins . These antioxidants give the potato its beautiful purple color and play an essential role in fighting free radicals, reducing inflammation, and supporting overall cell health. Adding Purple Sweet Potato powder to your smoothie helps boost your body’s defense against oxidative stress and promotes longevity. 2. Packed with Fiber for Digestive Health Purple Sweet Potatoes are naturally rich in fiber, which aids in digestion and helps maintain a healthy gut. Fiber promotes regular bowel movements, reduces bloating, and supports a balanced microbiome. By including Purple Sweet Potato in your smoothie, you're giving your digestive system a natural boost while making your smoothie more filling and satisfying. 3. High in Vitamins and Minerals Purple Sweet Potato is an excellent source of essential vitamins and minerals, including Vitamin A (in the form of beta-carotene), Vitamin C, potassium, and iron. Vitamin A supports healthy vision, skin, and immune function, while Vitamin C strengthens your immune system and boosts collagen production for radiant skin. Potassium is key for heart health and muscle function, making this root vegetable a powerhouse ingredient for your smoothie. 4. Naturally Sweet for a Smoothie Boost Purple Sweet Potato has a naturally sweet flavor, making it an excellent alternative to refined sugars in smoothies. It adds a creamy texture and a delightful sweetness without the sugar crash that comes from processed ingredients. Whether you're blending up a breakfast smoothie or a post-workout refreshment, the natural sweetness of Purple Sweet Potato helps create a rich, satisfying flavour profile. 5. Supports Brain Health Purple Sweet Potato also contains compounds that are thought to support cognitive function. Its high levels of antioxidants, along with other nutrients, help protect the brain from age-related decline and support mental clarity. A Purple Sweet Potato smoothie is a great way to start your day with a mental boost! 6. Helps Maintain Healthy Blood Sugar Levels The natural carbohydrates in Purple Sweet Potato are complex, which means they break down slowly in the body. This helps regulate blood sugar levels and provides sustained energy throughout the day. Unlike refined sugars, Purple Sweet Potato won't cause spikes in blood glucose, making it a great option for those looking to manage their energy levels and blood sugar. 7. Beautiful and Fun Colour Finally, who doesn’t love a colourful smoothie? Purple Sweet Potato brings a stunning purple hue to your blend, making it as visually appealing as it is nutritious.

How to make a Christmas Blue Yule Log Cake ? Christmas won't be Christmas without a Log Cake especially if its Bluúùuüuûuuéè..... A beautifully and festive cake, the chocolate Yule Log is not too hard to make and a "Yule Log" (or bûche de Noël French pronunciation: ​[byʃ də nɔɛl]) is a traditional dessert served near Christmas, especially in Belgium, France, Lebanon, Switzerland, Quebec, and several former French colonies. Made of sponge cake to resemble a miniature actual Yule log, it is a form of sweet roulade. However, this rich and just the right creamy blend Yule log is not for the faint-hearted - it's simply gorgeous, one of a kind, instead of triple-chocolate Christmas treat. And it's as easy as making a Swiss roll; we use Butterfly Pea Powder to give the light healthy all natural plant based blue colour for the log cake and in the cream coating.
