Notes on Ingredients

You will need the following ingredients to make this Speculoos latte:

  • Coffee: A double espresso for a stronger flavor, or a regular brewed coffee if you prefer a milder cup.
  • Milk: Whole milk gives the creamiest texture. For a dairy-free option, almond or oat milk works well and pairs nicely with the spices.
  • Speculoos spread: This adds the characteristic caramel-cinnamon flavor. Adjust the amount to taste.
  • Vanilla (optional): A few drops of vanilla extract deepen the aroma.
  • Whipped cream and Speculoos crumbs (optional): For an indulgent finish, top with whipped cream and crushed Speculoos cookies.
