Frequently Asked Questions About Lotus coffee
What is Lotus coffee?
Lotus coffee is a sweet coffee drink flavored with Lotus Biscoff biscuits or spread, known for its caramel-like, spiced taste. It is commonly made with coffee and milk, served hot or over ice, and sometimes topped with crushed biscuit.
How do you make Lotus coffee at home?
To make Lotus coffee, stir Biscoff spread into freshly brewed coffee until it dissolves, then add milk. For an iced version, dissolve the spread in a little hot coffee first, let the mixture cool, and pour it over milk and ice.
What does Lotus coffee taste like?
Lotus coffee tastes like coffee blended with the sweet, caramel-like and gently spiced flavor of Biscoff biscuits. Milk makes it creamier, while the amount of spread determines how strongly the biscuit flavor comes through.
Does Lotus coffee contain caffeine?
Yes, Lotus coffee contains caffeine when it is made with regular coffee. The amount depends on the coffee used and how much is added; making it with decaffeinated coffee reduces the caffeine substantially.
Can Lotus coffee be served hot or iced?
Lotus coffee can be served either hot or iced. For a hot cup, the spread melts readily into the coffee; for an iced drink, mix the spread with a small amount of hot coffee first so it does not clump in the cold milk.
What goes into Lotus coffee besides coffee?
Lotus coffee is typically made with Biscoff spread and milk, with crushed Biscoff biscuits sometimes added as a topping. Recipes vary, but the spread supplies the drink’s signature biscuit flavor and sweetness.
Can you make Lotus coffee with instant coffee?
Yes, instant coffee works well in Lotus coffee. Dissolve it in hot water, stir in the Biscoff spread while the coffee is warm, then add milk; this is also a handy way to prepare a chilled version.
How can you make Lotus coffee less sweet?
Use less Biscoff spread and skip any added sugar or flavored syrup to make Lotus coffee less sweet. You can also add more coffee or use unsweetened milk to balance the biscuit flavor.
What can you use instead of Biscoff spread in Lotus coffee?
Crushed Biscoff biscuits can add Lotus flavor to coffee if you do not have the spread, though they may not dissolve as smoothly. Stir the crumbs into hot coffee and strain it if you want a smoother drink.
How long does Lotus coffee keep in the fridge?
Lotus coffee is best enjoyed freshly made, especially when topped with biscuit crumbs. If it contains milk, refrigerate leftovers promptly in a covered container and use them within a day; stir before drinking because the ingredients may separate.

What is Lotus coffee?
Lotus coffee is a café-style drink made by adding Lotus Biscoff spread, syrup or crushed biscuits to coffee, often with milk. Recipes vary: it may be served hot or iced, and some versions are topped with cream or biscuit crumbs. Its caramelised biscuit flavour is inspired by the Belgian Lotus Biscoff biscuit, rather than being a traditional coffee preparation.
Expect a sweet, rounded coffee with a smooth texture when made with milk and a little crunch if it is finished with crumbs. It is commonly enjoyed as an occasional café treat or alongside a snack. Nutritionally, it is more of a sweet drink than a substantial source of protein; the listed 11.2 g of carbohydrate per 100 g reflects that. For a less sweet cup, ask for less spread or syrup and skip the creamy topping.
