Sipdown! (17 | 120)
This was a speculoos-flavored black tea, but most of the time it reminded me more of Almond Sugar Cookie from S&V. Buttery cookie with toasted flaked almond notes and just a touch of spice. There were a couple of times when the stars aligned and it was pure speculoos in a mug, but alas, this last cup is not one of those.
Still tasty, but would’ve liked it to be consistently speculoos!

Oooh, what is a speculoos, he asked himself. And then he asked uncle Google. And now he wants to bake speculoos, per the YT video from ATK. (Jeopardy music plays here).
Ha ha, Biscoff is the common brand that you may have had!
Good speculoos are fantastic treat… but hard to get :D
Getting the right sugar was going to be tricky for me. But then I found speculoos for sale at Aldi and grabbed ’em. Yum! And, they taste of “Buttery cookie with toasted flaked almond notes and just a touch of spice” exactly like the tea Cameron describes LoL with a little caramel flavor, too. I luv crunchy cookies! Dunno if they’re up to Martin’s standard of goodness, but good enough for me! ;-)
Although, these chocolate layered Butter Keks are pretty stellar, too. Same store. =:)
Well, Aldi is German store if I am not mistaken. And I would not be surprised if they import European goodies for people across the pond :) .
You are correct, Martin! Aldi and Lidl are German and sell us delightful cookies over here! I need to make a trip to Aldi soon und viele Kekse kaufen!
The package of speculoos says its from the Netherlands! Yes, @Martin, the Aldi here in the US are a discount grocery, owned by the Aldi Sud company, just like in CZ. The other company, Aldi Nord, owns another chain in the US called Trader Joes, which is rather a premium grocery. @Ashmanra, its cool that you’ve got access to a Lidl store; I have never been inside one and their US expansion hasn’t yet reached my area.
