Biscoff latte or speculoos latte recipe, a delicious drink with holiday cookies for the festive season.
Last month, saw this Speculoos drink in coffee bean Singapore. Then only I learnt about the speculoos.
I wanted to taste the drink once and try at home. But could not. When I looked for the recipe, found handful of recipes, most of them from few brands.
Adapted one from here as it is from scratch. Did not follow to the T but made it still turned out tasty.
What is Speculoos?
Speculoos is crispy holiday cookies made especially during the month of December. To understand easily, if you know biscoff biscuits, it is perfect example.
Though the traditional ones have some image too in it's surface. It has a flavour from many spices, but cinnamon, clove, ginger and nutmeg are very evident.
Recently was happy to see how it is made in my blogger friend's Insta feed. So, don't think it is something new, its just a coffee with cookie. Bring a cafe inspired drink to your kitchen and surprise yourself.
If you do not have espresso/ decoction, you can use 2 teaspoon of instant coffee too. Just dissolve in a tablespoon of hot water.
Check my filter coffee post for making fresh decoction.
