While most people wind down with herbal teas or warm milk, there’s one overlooked nighttime drink that may quietly transform your health: clove water (or clove tea). This tiny spice holds massive health potential — especially when consumed at night.
Here’s why sipping clove water before bed could be the game-changer your body has been waiting for.
What Is Clove Water?
Clove water is made by steeping whole cloves in hot water to release its powerful compounds, especially eugenol, which offers anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and antioxidant properties.
