It is narrated from Abu Sa’id (radi Allahu anhu) that the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) forbade blowing into a drink.
A man asked:
What if there is something undesirable (like a straw, etc.) in the vessel?
He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
Pour it out. (Pour out a little water so that it comes out as well.)
He said:
I do not become satisfied with one breath (when drinking).
He (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said:
Remove the cup from your mouth. (Jami’ al-Tirmidhi, al-Ashriba, Chapter: What has been reported about the dislike of blowing into a drink, Hadith: 1887)

Benefits and Issues:
➊
The best practice is that a person should drink in three breaths, and separate the vessel from the mouth while taking a breath.
➋
It is also not permissible to blow into food or drink.
If the food or beverage is too hot, one should wait and consume it after it cools down.
Similarly, if a straw or something similar has fallen into it, it should be removed by hand and not by blowing.
➌
Some scholars consider it impermissible to recite the Qur’an or any supplication and then blow (for blessing).
Whereas other scholars say that by reciting Surah Al-Fatihah and prescribed supplications, some effect is produced in it.
Therefore, they do not include blowing after recitation (ruqyah) among the prohibited forms of blowing.
Rather, they consider it permissible.
