Spring Café Recap

Butterfly Dream, Blueberry Lavender Matcha, Rosy Vanilla Chai, Violet Lemonade, and Raspberry Strawberry Hibiscus Tea

Back in the Spring, I decided to make a little Spring Café theme on my art Instagram, @thewolfandthefaerie. I mentioned this briefly in my previous journal post, and I wanted to share a little more about it here. If you want to see the original posts on Instagram, feel free to do so.

I want to open up a café one day, so this is my way of practicing. On top of the drinks, I wanted to make different food for this theme. I never got the chance to do it, mostly because my oven hasn’t been working properly. I’m going to focus on just drinks for now, and hopefully I can make food for a later theme.

Butterfly Dream🦋🌸

This is the first drink I made for the Spring Café, and what inspired the idea in the first place. This drink is made with butterfly pea flower, strawberry, rose, coconut milk, and honey. I love the taste so much. I tried to layer the colors a little bit better than this, but I think this looks good too. I really love the color of the drink. It reminds me of Rafayel’s eyes, my favorite character from LADS.

Rosy Vanilla Chai 🌹

This drink is made with chai spice, rose vanilla syrup, coconut milk with rose powder, and rose petals on top. I tested this recipe a few times. The final product is good, but the chai flavor could be a bit stronger. I didn’t have black tea before, but I’ll definitely add it next time.

Raspberry Strawberry Hibiscus Tea🍓🌺

This drink is hibiscus tea with raspberry and strawberry syrup. It’s a good combination of sweet, fruity, and tangy flavors. It’s also very refreshing to drink. Next time I’ll add less hibiscus, so the tea can be a little less dark in color and less strong in taste.

Blueberry Lavender Matcha🫐🪻

This is my favorite drink for the Spring Café. It’s made of matcha, coconut milk, and blueberry lavender syrup. Also, I figured out how to do the layering, and it looks so pretty.

Violet Lemonade🪻🍋

This is my last drink for the Spring Café. It’s lemonade made with violet syrup. I picked a lot of violet flowers this year, and this is one of the ways I get creative with them. The flavor of the drink almost reminds me of sweet grape with lemon.

What’s your favorite drink from this series? I really love all the drinks I made for this theme, especially the Blueberry Lavender Matcha. Next time Spring rolls around, I hope to make these again and Spring themed food as well. For now, I will be posting a Summer Café theme next. If you want to see what’s coming, be sure to follow me at @thewolfandthefaerie on Instagram. I’ll see you next time, and I hope you have a great day/night.

With lots of love,
