Soothing Clove and Ginger Tea

This recipe combines warming spices to create a fragrant drink that is easy to prepare at home.

Fresh Ginger: $1/2$ inch piece, sliced or crushed.
Cinnamon: 1 whole cinnamon stick.
Cloves: $1/4$ teaspoon of whole cloves.
Water: 3 cups of water.
Optional: 1 teaspoon of raw honey (add only when the tea has cooled slightly to preserve its natural properties).

Boil: Place the water, sliced ginger, cinnamon stick, and cloves in a small pot.
Simmer: Bring the mixture to a boil and let it simmer for 7 to 8 minutes. This allows the spices to fully infuse the water.
Strain: Pour the tea through a fine-mesh strainer into your favorite mug to remove the solids.
Cool and Sweeten: Let the tea sit for a minute or two. If you prefer it sweet, stir in the honey once the tea is warm rather than boiling hot.
Enjoy: Sip slowly while warm.
