A homemade infusion as simple as pie
The good news is that you don’t have to be a queen of the kitchen to make this old-fashioned drink. It doesn’t take much. Count two orange peels, carefully washed and ideally dried, five cloves and 250 ml of water. Bring the water to a simmer in a small saucepan, add the peel and cloves, then let it infuse over low heat for about fifteen minutes so that the aromas have time to release. Filter, serve hot… and enjoy. It’s as easy as making tea, with that little extra soul.
What benefits can you expect from this comforting drink?
Without going into complicated terms, this natural comfort drink ticks a lot of boxes in terms of well-being. It is appreciated for supporting natural defences, accompanying a digestion that is sometimes a little lazy and offering a moment of relaxation thanks to its enveloping aromas. The antioxidants found in orange and cloves also help protect cells from external aggressors, while the warmth of the drink helps to instantly feel better, like in a cocoon.
Variants to never get bored
One of the great pleasures of this infusion is that it lends itself to all desires. For an even warmer version, add a cinnamon stick or a few slices of fresh ginger. Looking for sweetness? A few pieces of apple will work wonders. A hint of lemon will bring a brighter touch, ideal during the day. On the sweetening side, a little honey or sugar is enough, but many also appreciate it plain, to fully enjoy the flavors.
