Heat 250 ml of water in a small saucepan. Add a cinnamon stick and three cloves, then let it steep, covered, for ten minutes. For a touch of sweetness, add a teaspoon of honey or a few drops of lemon juice: ideal for soothing the throat and enhancing the flavor.
Prefer a quick version? Mix half a teaspoon of ground cinnamon and a pinch of ground cloves in a cup of hot water. Stir, let it steep for a few moments, then enjoy.
Enjoy it once or twice a day for a few days—no need to overdo it, as these spices are very concentrated. If you have a sensitive stomach, simply avoid drinking it on an empty stomach.
What benefits can be expected from this natural drink?
