Clove Tea Recipes (Lung)

Herbs and spices are well known to enhance the flavour and taste of your cooking but they also have excellent health and medicinal benefits, some much more than others.
Using spices and herbs to treat illness, ailments and even injuries has been known about for thousands of years
Clove oil can also be used to treat skin problems, such as acne, and it can help ease burns and irritations. It has also been used to reduce fever, to regulate blood sugar levels and even to repel mosquitos!
Ingredients: (makes one cup)
1 teaspoon ground cloves
½ teaspoon ground nutmeg
½ teaspoon ground cinnamon
Few drops of lemon juice
1 cup of water
Agave nectar or honey (optional)
Directions:
Put the spices into a saucepan, add a cup of water and heat to boiling*, then simmer for 2-3 minutes. Turn off the heat and let steep (sit) for 5 minutes. Pour through a tea strainer and, if using, add the lemon juice or honey or both.
*Boiling may destroy some of the clove spice benefits.
Verdict!
Very warming, and you can really taste the cloves, and the subtle hints of nutmeg and cinnamon. The lemon juice gives it a nice slight tang.
I made it without the optional honey. But if you usually add sugar to your tea adding honey or a sweetner may be a good idea. You can always try the clove tea first without and add some if it's not sweet enough.
