- Almond Milk: I used unsweetened almond milk, but you can use your milk of choice. Feel free to use a dairy milk like whole milk or low-fat milk if you don't need to keep this a vegan Biscoff latte recipe. Or, to keep it vegan friendly, you can also use oat milk, coconut milk, or any plant based milk alternative!
- Espresso Shot: A single or double shot of espresso coffee, whatever you prefer, makes this drink a true latte. You can use decaf espresso as well.
- Crumbled Biscoff Cookie: This topping is optional but so delicious to a have a crunchy element in this drinks. It's a homemade Biscoff latte Starbucks style!

Mix Biscoff Spread And Milk: Heat the Biscoff spread and almond milk in a small saucepan over a medium heat, stirring constantly to ensure the spread doesn't stick and burn.
Heat & Froth: Continue to heat until the spread has completely melted. Remove from the heat. Froth milk mixture with an immersion blender or a handheld frother.
Add Espresso: Add one espresso shot to a mug.
Add Frothed Milk: Pour the hot Biscoff milk mixture into the mug with the espresso.

💭 Expert Tips
- If you don't have a milk frother or immersion blender you can pour the heated milk mixture and espresso shot into a blender and blend to create a frothy delicious latte. Or, if you have an espresso machine with a milk steamer, you can use that as well. Just add milk to the steamer's pitcher, put it under the steam wand and turn it on. Make sure hold the pitcher at an angle so that the foam doesn't all collect at the top, and once it's nice and foamy, you're done!
- Use fresh ground coffee beans for this lotus Biscoff latte recipe, and use a dark roast coffee for more coffee flavor.
- For best results, do not boil the milk and Biscoff spread while heating it, and make sure to continually stir the Biscoff milk to prevent burning.
- If you don't have an espresso machine you can use instant coffee powder, just make it a little stronger than normal.
