🌿 Clove Water Recipe: A Small Sip with Big Power
Ingredients:
4–5 whole cloves
1 cup (250 ml) of water
Optional: a small piece of cinnamon stick or a few drops of honey for taste
🔥 Instructions:
Boil the Water:
Bring the water to a gentle boil in a small pot or kettle.
Add the Cloves:
Add the whole cloves to the boiling water. You can also add cinnamon if using.
Simmer:
Let the mixture simmer for 5–10 minutes. The water will take on a golden to light brown color.
Strain & Cool:
Strain the clove water into a cup. Let it cool slightly before drinking — it should be warm, not hot.
Optional Sweetening:
Add a few drops of honey if desired. Avoid sugar, as it can counteract some of the benefits.
🧠 Why It’s Powerful (But Underestimated):
Digestive Aid: Helps with bloating, gas, and nausea.
Antimicrobial Properties: Cloves contain eugenol, a natural compound that fights bacteria and viruses.
Anti-inflammatory: Reduces internal inflammation and joint pain.
Oral Health: Great as a natural mouth rinse (kills bacteria and freshens breath).
Blood Sugar Regulation: May help improve insulin function when taken regularly.
🕒 How to Use:
Drink a small sip in the morning on an empty stomach — about 2–3 tablespoons is enough.
