Coffee, tea or hot chocolate: our pairing ideas with WEDO biscuits
Butter biscuit and strong coffee, cookies and mint tea, cocoa biscuit and hot chocolate… A few simple pairing ideas to go with your favourite drink.
A hot drink almost always calls for a biscuit. But which one? There is no absolute rule, just combinations that work well and are fun to discover. Here are our suggestions for pairing WEDO biscuits with your favourite drinks.
What makes a good pairing
Two approaches complement each other. Harmony means combining similar flavours: a cocoa biscuit with a hot chocolate, for example. Contrast plays on differences: a butter biscuit against the bitterness of a coffee. Try both, and keep what you like.
With a coffee
Coffee, especially a strong one, likes biscuits with character or, on the contrary, a rounded flavour.
- GALETTE BRETONNE, a butter biscuit, is a classic: its buttery flavour answers the bitterness of coffee.
- DELATO, a cocoa biscuit filled with cocoa cream, extends the notes of the coffee for cocoa lovers.
- COOKIES WEDO Cocoa suit a long coffee, to nibble at leisure.
With a mint tea
Mint tea, served piping hot, goes hand in hand with moments of sharing. It pairs readily with mild-flavoured biscuits.
- SANDWICH Vanilla, a crunchy biscuit filled with vanilla cream, brings a vanilla note that goes with the freshness of mint.
- Galette bretonne, once again, also has its place here.
- COOKIES WEDO Vanilla and MAYBI COOKIES Vanilla complete a tea tray without overloading it.
With a black tea or a milky tea
Stronger, black tea welcomes more intense biscuits. TARTELETTES, filled with cocoa, or SANDWICH Cocoa hold their own. With a milky tea, try VAMOS Milk: its milk coating extends the smoothness of the cup.
With a hot chocolate
Hot chocolate invites two strategies:
- Harmony: a cocoa biscuit, such as DELATO or COOKIES WEDO Cocoa, for an all-chocolate moment.
- Contrast: a lighter biscuit, such as Galette bretonne or SANDWICH Vanilla, which balances the richness of the drink.
Marshmallow lovers will also try VAMOS Chocolate, with a cocoa coating, or VAMOS COCO Chocolate for a hint of coconut.
With a glass of milk
For children and grown-ups alike, a glass of cold milk is always a safe bet. Cookies, vanilla or cocoa, are its natural partners. VAMOS and VAMOS COCO, in their individual packs, also make very good snack-time companions.
