Clove water — a small sip with great power. A simple drink with extraordinary benefits…To keep receiving my recipes, you just need to say something…
📝 Step-by-Step Instructions
- Lightly Crush the Cloves:
- Place whole cloves on a cutting board and press lightly with the flat side of a knife (or in a mortar and pestle) to bruise them slightly. (This helps release their aromatic essential oils!) 🌿
- Heat the Water:
- Bring 2 cups of filtered water to a boil in a small stainless steel saucepan or kettle. 💧
- Steep the Infusion:
- Add the bruised whole cloves to the hot water.
- Cover with a lid, remove from heat, and let steep for 10 to 15 minutes until the water turns a warm golden-amber hue. ⏲️
- Strain & Serve:
- Strain the liquid through a fine-mesh sieve into your favorite mug or glass jar, discarding the spent cloves. 🫖
- Stir in a teaspoon of raw honey and a fresh lemon slice if desired. Sip warm in the morning or throughout the day! 😋✨
