Whole dried cloves (Syzygium aromaticum), the unopened flower buds of an evergreen tree, with an intensely warm, aromatic character and a sweet, peppery flavor with a gentle tingle. Native to Indonesia’s Spice Islands, cloves have been traded around the world for more than 2,000 years and brewed into warming cups across Asia, Africa and Europe.
A little clove goes a long way. On its own it makes a bold, cozy tea, and it’s the backbone of chai, mulled cider and holiday spice blends. Pair it with cinnamon, ginger, cardamom or orange peel, and add a spoonful of honey.
Ingredients: Whole cloves (Syzygium aromaticum)
Hot brew: About ½ teaspoon of whole cloves (8–10 buds) or 1 tea bag per 8 oz of water. Bring to a boil, then simmer gently for 5–10 minutes. Strain and sweeten with honey.
Warm spice blend: Simmer 4 cloves with 1 cinnamon stick and a thin slice of fresh ginger in 10 oz of water for 10 minutes. Strain, then add honey and a slice of orange.
Caffeine: None. Naturally caffeine-free.
