Banana Speculoos

It’s a gourmet drink that combines the fruity sweetness of banana with the caramelized and spiced aroma of speculoos, the famous Belgian biscuit. Imagine banana bread meeting a pack of speculoos—everything transformed into a velvety latte. At Pure Tea, we created this recipe in a 100% natural version, without the refined sugars or artificial flavors you usually find. The result? A truly unique drink—comforting, wonderfully indulgent, and so hard to resist—ready in just a few minutes at home. It’s comfort food, but in liquid form. Better. 🍌

Speculoos is a classic Belgian spiced biscuit with warm spices, instantly recognizable by its golden color and its unique caramelized flavor. What’s the secret? A precise blend of cinnamon, ginger, nutmeg, cloves, cardamom and other warm spices that give it such a distinctive character. The name is thought to come from the Latin “speculum” (mirror), because ancient molds imprinted raised patterns on the biscuits. Today, speculoos has become a global phenomenon: in spreads, in ice cream, in cheesecake… And with our Banana Speculoos, we invite you to rediscover it in a latte version, 100% natural and without additives. 🇧🇪

Ultra simple ! Pour préparer, pour verse 1 to 2 teaspoons of powder into your cup, add a splash of hot milk (about 30ml) to create a smooth paste, then top up with 150 to 200ml of hot milk of your choice. Stir well, and it’s ready! For a caffeine version, add a shot of espresso before the milk. Want that coffee shop effect? Use a milk frother to get a silky foam, then sprinkle a little cinnamon on top. In summer, you can also make it as an iced version: blend the powder with cold milk, ice cubes, and a fresh banana. In 3 minutes flat, you’ll have a pro-level latte. ☕✨

It’s not just a treat for your taste buds—it's also a concentrate of natural benefits! Banana provides potassium, magnesium, and B vitamins for steady energy and good nervous system balance. Dates offer fiber and slow sugars that help prevent blood sugar spikes. As for the spices: ginger supports digestion and warms you up, cinnamon helps regulate blood sugar, cardamom and fennel soothe your stomach, and cloves give your immune system a boost. All these spices are rich in antioxidants that help protect your cells. In short: you indulge while taking care of your body. That’s smart indulgence! 🌿

No, absolutely no caffeine! Our blend is made using only fruits (banana, date) and spices, so it is naturally caffeine-free. You can enjoy it anytime: at breakfast to start gently, for a mid-afternoon treat break for a cozy moment, or even in the evening while you watch your favorite series—without risking insomnia. If you’d like a version with caffeine, simply add an espresso to your preparation. You’ll get the taste of a coffee shop latte, but with full control over the ingredients. The best of both worlds! 🌙

Yes, 100%! Our recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free, because it only includes natural fruits and spices. No animal-based ingredients, and no gluten-containing grains. You can make it with the milk of your choice: oat, almond, coconut, soy, hazelnut for a 100% plant-based version, or cow’s milk if you prefer. It’s also lactose-free (if you use plant-based milk), with no soy in the basic recipe, and no added sugars. In short, it fits almost all dietary needs! 🌱

Yes, and they love it! It’s even one of the main highlights of this product. The flavor of caramelized banana, combined with the gentle spices of speculoos, is a huge hit with kids (and big kids). The recipe is 100% natural, caffeine-free, and the spices are not spicy at all. It’s a great alternative to industrial hot chocolates packed with sugar. Our tip: start with a light serving (1 small teaspoon) and adjust based on their preferences. You can also offer them the cold version as a milkshake for summer snack time. Just be aware: you may find you need to restock it often! 👧👦

That’s precisely its big strength: Banana Speculoos can be enjoyed 12 months a year! Unlike Pumpkin Spice (more of an autumn vibe) or Gingerbread (more of a winter vibe), our banana-speculoos blend doesn’t have a designated season. In winter, enjoy it warm and comforting under a blanket. In summer, make it iced or blended (frappé) by the pool. Banana is a fruit we love all year round—and speculoos… let’s be honest, we’d eat it every day no matter the weather. It’s the ultimate all-year latte! ☀️❄️

Each Fruity Latte has its own unique personality! The Pumpkin Spice Latte spotlights velvety pumpkin and gentle spices: it’s THE autumn drink—perfect for crisp fallen leaves and cozy October evenings. The Gingerbread Latte brings to mind Christmas and festive markets with its bold gingerbread flavor: ideal from November to February. The Banana Speculoos, meanwhile, is the versatile treat: fruitier and more “comfort food” inspired, it works all year long and is especially popular with kids thanks to its caramelized banana twist. If you had to sum it up: Pumpkin = autumn, Gingerbread = winter, Banana Speculoos = all year round! 🍂🎄🍌

Oh yes, and it’s even one of its superpowers! Banana Speculoos is incredibly versatile. You can add it to your morning porridge for a delicious breakfast, mix it into your pancake or muffin batter for an amazing result, stir it into yogurt or cottage cheese, blend it into a smoothie bowl, or even sprinkle it over vanilla ice cream. Just a teaspoon is enough to turn any simple recipe into a treat that smells like banana bread and speculoos. It’s your secret ingredient for impressing at brunch! 🧁

Good news: all our lattes work! Our favorite? oat milk: its natural creaminess and a light cereal taste pair beautifully with speculoos (it’s almost too perfect). Coconut milk gives you a more exotic take and an ultra-creamy finish. Almond milk brings a subtle, light sweetness. Hazelnut milk enhances the indulgent, cookie-like vibe. And what about classic cow’s milk? It works really well too, with a more traditional result and foam that’s easy to make. Our tip: try a few different versions to find YOUR perfect combo! 🥛

A 50g pouch lets you prepare 8 to 10 cups using the standard serving (1 teaspoon per cup), or 5 to 7 cups if you prefer a more intense version (2 teaspoons). In short, you enjoy several weeks of indulgence for under €10. And when you know a latte costs between €5 and €7 at a coffee shop, the math is quick: at home, it’s less than €1 per cup, with 100% natural ingredients you can trust. Plus, if you also use the powder in your recipes (porridge, pancakes...), your pouch lasts even longer! 💰

To keep all the aromas intact, store your sachet tightly closed (it’s resealable—so convenient), at room temperature, in a dry place away from light. Avoid storing it near heat sources (oven, hot plates) or moisture (above the sink, near the kettle). The golden rule: never dip a wet spoon into the sachet, because moisture is the enemy of spices and fruit powder. If you follow these simple basics, your powder will keep all its freshness and flavors for several months after opening. 📦
