Clove-infused tea: A natural remedy for digestive relief
After the holidays, I checked my spice supplies, and of course, I needed to go shopping because I needed one of them for New Year's Day. Only the aromatic scent remains in the jar; there's nothing better for tea.
I like simple solutions that I find in the kitchen. They are often much more effective and cheaper than those from the pharmacy. So, I always serve myself tea with cloves for overeating and minor digestive issues. It works like a balm for the digestive system.
Associated with the holidays
Black tea without added sugar is effective after heavy meals because it speeds up the secretion of digestive juices. When you add cloves to it, the drink becomes even more effective. We eagerly reach for this spice during the Christmas season. It is an important ingredient in gingerbread spice. We also stuff oranges with it to spread a beautiful aroma throughout the house. What properties do cloves have?
Aid in digestion
On the first day of the new year, what I appreciate most about cloves is that they aid digestion. As we know, late-night eating doesn't do anyone any favours. You can quickly brew cloves with tea and prepare a drink that soothes all stomach ailments and supports stomach function. The health-promoting properties of this spice are primarily due to eugenol, which has anti-inflammatory and antiseptic effects. Clove tea helps when nausea or bloating occurs.
Strengthen immunity
Cloves support digestion, boost immunity, and relieve migraines and toothaches. They also contain many vitamins, including A, K, E, D, and C, as well as those from the B group, and minerals like potassium, calcium, manganese, zinc, phosphorus, sodium, folic acid, selenium, and magnesium.
How to prepare tea with cloves?
Preparing tea with cloves is very simple. Just add a few cloves to a cup of boiling water. Depending on your preference, you can brew them together with the tea or add them later. The most effective brew is without sugar. It's also good to use loose-leaf tea instead of tea bags. The drink will have a deep, spicy aroma and quickly relieve digestive discomfort.
