Get Your Coffee Ready: If you are using whole coffee beans, the first step is to ground them. Try to get a medium grind, as you would with a drip coffee machine.
If you want your coffee with a little more flavor, try grinding in three or four whole cloves for every cup of grounds. Crush them for a second or two. The cloves will be finely ground without being powdered, blending in with the coffee grounds in just the right way.
Start by brewing your coffee according to your usual technique. This might be a French press, espresso machine, drip brewer, etc. The cloves will steep with the coffee, adding their unique taste to the beverage.
Before serving, ladle a cup of freshly brewed coffee into it. Clove essential oils harmonize exquisitely with coffee's scent and body, evoking a calming and pleasant experience.
Optional Enhancements: For a sweeter taste, you may add a cinnamon stick or a dab of vanilla essence to the brew.
The combination of cloves and coffee has several health advantages in addition to satisfying your taste sensations. Cloves contain anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities. This drink may help you get a head start on the day and strengthen your immune system when combined with the energizing benefits of caffeine.
