high-quality cloves.
Optional: A teaspoon of raw honey or maple syrup for sweetness.
Optional: A thin slice of fresh lemon or a small cinnamon stick for added flavor complexity.
Instructions:
Begin by bringing fresh, filtered water to a rolling boil.
While the water heats, lightly crush the whole cloves using a mortar and pestle or the flat side of a knife to help release their essential oils.
Place the crushed cloves into your favorite mug or a teapot.
Pour the freshly boiled water directly over the cloves.
Cover the mug
