What is Blue Lotus? Blue lotus (Nymphaea nouchali) is a deeply revered aquatic flower with a rich history rooted in Eastern cultures, Ayurveda, and ancient traditions. Known as the Blue Star Water Lily, it has been cherished for centuries for its striking beauty, enchanting aroma, and holistic properties. Today, it is highly sought after by tea enthusiasts and herbalists for crafting calming teas, herbal blends, and aromatherapy.

The Blue Lotus Experience: In holistic medicine, this flower is considered Medhya (good for the mind) and Hridya (comforting for the heart).

In a method called Ksheerapaka, the lotus petals are steeped in milk.

Blue lotus Ksheerapaka recipe:

1. Bring 12 oz of milk (or your favorite dairy alternative) to a very low boil in a small pot.

2. Add 1 tablespoons of loose petals and remove the pot from the stove burner.

3. Cover the pot and let it steep for 15 minutes.

4. Strain, sweeten with honey, and serve.
