Healthy Clove Tea Recipe

Healthy Clove Tea

Ingredients

• 1 cup (250 ml) water
• 3–5 whole cloves
• ½ inch piece of fresh ginger (optional)
• ½ cinnamon stick (optional)
• 1 teaspoon honey (optional, add after cooling slightly)
• A squeeze of lemon (optional)

Instructions

1. Bring water to a boil.
2. Add cloves (and ginger/cinnamon if using).
3. Reduce heat and simmer for 5–10 minutes.
4. Strain into a cup.
5. Let it cool for a minute, then add honey and lemon if desired.

Tips

• Drink it warm, especially in colder weather.
• Clove tea has a strong flavor, so start with fewer cloves if you’re new to it.
• Avoid using very large amounts of cloves regularly, as concentrated clove preparations can be irritating and may not be suitable for some people (for example, those with certain bleeding risks or medication interactions).

You can also make a lighter daily version with just 2–3 cloves steeped in hot water for 5 minutes.
