- 1 tablespoon whole cloves
- 6 stars of whole star anise
- 1 teaspoon fresh nutmeg, grated
Flavoring and Creamer

Instructions
- Prepare cold brew base: In a large pitcher, combine 4 cups of cold water with 1 package (2 coffee packs) of Dunkin’ Donuts Cold Brew Coffee to start your cold brew infusion.

- Serve: Pour the Witch’s Brew Iced Coffee over ice cubes in glasses and enjoy this refreshing, spiced cold coffee delight.
