Ingredients
1–2 teaspoons whole cloves
2 cups filtered water
Instructions
1. Bring the filtered water to a boil in a small saucepan.
2. Add the whole cloves to the boiling water.
3. Reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 5 to 10 minutes.
4. Turn off the heat and allow the mixture to steep for another 10 to 15 minutes.
5. Strain the clove water using a fine-mesh strainer or cheesecloth into a mug or jar.
6. Serve warm, or let cool and refrigerate for up to 3 days.
Notes
Start with one cup per day to gauge your body’s response.
You can add a cinnamon stick while simmering for extra flavor.
Clove water can be used as a natural mouthwash or even as a facial toner.
Avoid excessive consumption due to eugenol’s blood-thinning properties.
Consult your doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or taking medication.
