This clove-infused drink is a time-honored remedy used across cultures to support digestion, reduce inflammation, and regulate blood sugar levels. Cloves, the aromatic flower buds of the Syzygium aromaticum tree, are rich in eugenol—a compound known for its antioxidant, antibacterial, and analgesic properties. When steeped in hot water, cloves release their potent oils, creating a warming, slightly spicy infusion that soothes the stomach, freshens breath, and may help improve insulin sensitivity. Whether sipped in the morning, after meals, or during seasonal cleanses, this drink is a simple yet powerful addition to any wellness routine.
