Best Ingredient Options
Whole Cloves
Choose whole cloves that have a strong, fresh aroma. Fresh cloves generally provide a more pronounced flavor than older, stale spices.
Honey
Raw or regular honey works well when you want natural sweetness. You can also leave it out for an unsweetened beverage.
Fresh Ginger
Fresh ginger adds a pleasant spicy flavor and pairs especially well with cloves.
Cinnamon
A cinnamon stick gives the tea a naturally sweet, warming aroma without needing much additional sweetener.
