add fresh lemon or honey just before serving.
Storage
Store leftover clove tea in a sealed glass jar or food-safe container in the refrigerator.
For best taste and freshness, consume it within 2–3 days.
Reheating
Pour the desired amount into a saucepan or microwave-safe mug and heat until comfortably warm.
Avoid repeatedly boiling the tea, as excessive heating can make the flavor harsh and bitter.
Freezing
Clove tea can technically be frozen, although freezing isn’t necessary for such a quick recipe.
If you want to freeze it, allow the tea to cool completely and place it in freezer-safe containers, leaving some room for expansion.
Thaw in the refrigerator and gently reheat before serving.
