Clove Tea | Soothing Tea

Clove Tea is perfect for calming the senses. Cloves are extremely rich in antioxidants. This makes for an ideal change to your usual herbal Tea. Clove tea has been known to reduce irritability, help with insomnia and even cure a tooth ache! This is our favorite ‘unwinding’ Tea. My husband requests it often.  I sometimes add a little freshly squeezed lemon and replace the sugar with agave nectar or honey.
