Introduction
Cloves are a powerhouse of flavor and health. These small, aromatic flower buds have been used in traditional medicine for centuries to treat everything from toothaches to digestion. But while cloves offer incredible benefits when consumed regularly, many people unknowingly make a common mistake that can reduce their effectiveness—or even cause harm. In this article, you'll learn how to safely eat cloves every day, a simple recipe to incorporate them, and the right way to get the most out of their health-boosting properties.
Ingredients:
This basic daily clove recipe is simple and can be easily added to your routine. You’ll need:
2–3 whole cloves
1 teaspoon honey (optional, for flavor and digestion)
1 cup warm water
1 pinch of cinnamon (optional, for enhanced benefits)
Instructions:
Soak the Cloves
Place the whole cloves in a cup of warm (not boiling) water. Let them steep for 10–15 minutes.
Add Enhancers (Optional)
Stir in honey and a pinch of cinnamon if desired. These not only improve taste but also complement clove’s health properties.
Consume on an Empty Stomach
Drink the infused water and chew the softened cloves. Doing this in the morning enhances absorption and digestion.
Serving and Storage Tips:
Daily Dose: Limit intake to 2–3 cloves a day. More than that can lead to liver irritation or digestive upset.
Storage: Store your cloves in an airtight glass container, away from sunlight and moisture.
Freshness Tip: Use whole cloves, not pre-ground ones, for maximum potency and shelf life.
