★Ingredients
- 1 teaspoon whole cloves
- 1 cup water
- 1 small piece of fresh ginger, sliced (optional, for added digestive benefits)
- 1 teaspoon fresh lemon juice (optional, for added flavor and health benefits)
- 1 teaspoon honey (optional, for sweetness)
★Instructions
Boil the Water* Start by bringing the water to a boil in a small saucepan.
Add Cloves* Once the water is boiling, add the whole cloves to the water. If you’re using fresh ginger, add it at this point as well.
Simmer* Reduce the heat to low and let the mixture simmer for about 5-10 minutes. This allows the cloves to release their beneficial compounds into the water.
Strain the Tea* After simmering, remove the saucepan from the heat. Strain the tea into a cup to remove the cloves (and ginger slices, if used).
Add Honey and Lemon (Optional)* Stir in the honey and lemon juice if desired. These additions can enhance the flavor and add extra health benefits.
Enjoy* Sip the tea slowly, allowing it to soothe your stomach and aid digestion.
