Introduction: In the quest for natural remedies, few ingredients hold as much promise as cloves. This tiny spice, often overlooked in the kitchen, has remarkable health benefits, including boosting immunity, aiding digestion, and promoting overall well-being. One simple and effective way to harness the power of cloves is by making clove water. This aromatic, health-boosting drink is easy to prepare and offers a wealth of medicinal properties. Let’s explore how you can create your very own clove water and reap its many benefits.
Ingredients:
4-5 whole cloves
2 cups of water

Prepare the Cloves: Begin by rinsing the cloves under cool water to remove any dirt or dust.
Boil the Water: In a small pot, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium heat.
Add Cloves: Once the water is boiling, add the cloves to the pot.
Simmer: Lower the heat and let the mixture simmer for 10-15 minutes. This allows the cloves to infuse the water with their rich flavor and beneficial compounds.
