Frequently Asked Questions
Yes, I found this Christmas Coffee blend to be especially delicious as iced coffee with added creamer, and it even lasts 2 to 3 days stored in the refrigerator!
Once you’ve brewed the coffee just refrigerate it and pour it over ice whenever you’re ready for a cupful.
However, I don’t recommend preparing the spiced coffee in a cold brew pitcher because the spices are much finer than ground cold brew coffee and it could leave a residue.
No, you can use decaf coffee or any ground coffee of your choice! While I recommend dark roast coffee for best results I do encourage you to use your favorite unflavored coffee as a base to build off of!
That’s ok! This recipe doesn’t require one as it can be made in any coffee maker that uses a filter.
Make the recipe as you normally would, then just portion it out to be used in reusable k-cup filters, storing the leftover ground coffee mix in a canister until you’re ready for your next cup!
