Notes
Use fresh cloves that release a strong aroma when crushed between your fingers for maximum infusion. Simmer the spices for exactly five to seven minutes to avoid over-extracting the tannins which can cause bitterness. Strain the tea immediately after cooking to prevent the spice flavor from becoming overwhelming for your palate. Add a slice of fresh ginger to enhance the warming effects of this clove tea recipe for weight loss. Balance the sharpness with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice which complements the clove profile beautifully.
