How to Make Winter Spiced Coffee

The spices used in this coffee recipe always remind me of the holidays with a warm and inviting aroma and a flavor that’s divine. The combination of cinnamon and cloves gives the coffee a deliciously warm and spicy flavor, while the brown sugar gives it the perfect amount of sweetness.

It may take a bit of tweaking for you to discover how you like your Winter Spiced Coffee. You may want more spice or you may want less. However, when it comes to the type coffee, I’ve discovered it tastes best with either a French or a Dark Roast.

As is, this recipes makes 6 – 8 servings. You can find the full ingredients and instructions in the free printable recipe card below.

Ingredients to Make Winter Spiced Coffee

As I mentioned, it’s amazing the difference adding some everyday kitchen spices to your cup of coffee can make! This Winter Spiced Coffee is the perfect example.

All you need to make it is:

  • ground cinnamon
  • cloves
  • brown sugar
  • water
  • Dunkin’ Donuts French Roast or Dark Roast

Garnishes (optional)

  • Whipped cream
  • Shaved milk chocolate
  • Dash Ground Cinnamon
  • Cinnamon Stick

Instructions to Make Winter Spiced Coffee

Making Winter Spiced Coffee is as easy as making any cup of coffee. In four simple steps you’ll have a warm, fragrant cup of coffee you’ll love!

  1. Add Water
  2. Add Coffee to the filter basket
  3. Add Spices on top of coffee
  4. Brew

Pro tip: in some coffee makers the addition of spices can make your filter overflow. However, adding the spices to a coffee cup, then pouring hot coffee over the top works just as well. Just make sure you stir well, and let it sit for a few so that the cinnamon and sugar will dissolve. Getting the correct amount of flavor this way is a bit more trial and error, but once you do, you’ll love it!

Take Your Coffee To Another Level

How ironic. I usually drink my coffee black. But today of all days, I spiced it up and added a little bit of skim milk, cinnamon and vanilla. Thank you for the recipe. I will definitely try it.
