Step 3 – Simmer and Infuse
- After the water has reached a boiling point:
- Reduce the heat and let it simmer for 8-10 minutes.

- Strain the tea into cups, removing the cloves and cinnamon stick.
- Sweeten with honey to taste.
- Note: The longer you let the cloves steep after turning off the heat, the stronger the flavor will be.
Notes
- If you prefer a lighter flavor, reduce the simmering time.
- For added spice, a pinch of ground nutmeg or cardamom can work wonders with clove tea.
