Most people prefer chewing cloves
In the morning
After meals
Before leaving the house
Because cloves have a strong flavor, one or two cloves per day is usually enough.
And if chewing is not your favorite option, there are other ways to use them.
Examples include
Clove tea
Adding ground cloves to oatmeal
Mixing cloves with honey
Using cloves in soups or herbal drinks
Small amounts can add both flavor and potential wellness benefits.
But moderation is important.
