Can I make this Christmas coffee as iced coffee?

Absolutely. Once your coffee is brewed, allow it to cool to room temperature, then refrigerate it. It keeps well for 2 to 3 days and can be poured over ice with your favorite milk or creamer for a cold, festive drink. Avoid trying to cold brew the spice mix directly—it won’t filter cleanly and may leave residue.

Do I have to use dark roast coffee?

Dark roast is recommended for its bold, rich flavor that stands up well against strong spices. However, you're welcome to use any unflavored ground coffee you love, including decaf. Just avoid flavored varieties, as they may clash with the spices.

Can I make this recipe with a Keurig?

Yes, and it’s simple. Mix your ground coffee and spices as instructed. Then, scoop enough into a reusable K-cup filter and brew a cup. Store the extra mixture in a dry, sealed container and enjoy a festive brew anytime without the hassle.
