Spiced Beverages 

Adding cloves to your hot beverages is a great way to make your winter mornings cosier. A subtle hint of cloves adds a delicious aromatic kick to any hot beverage, whether it's spiced chai or mulled apple cider.  

Clove-Infused Soups 

Adding cloves to your winter soups will improve their flavour profile. Simmer them with lentils, root vegetables, or even a traditional tomato soup for a comforting touch. 

Clove-Spiced Porridge 

Cloves are a great way to boost the nutritional content of your morning cereal. For a hearty and healthy breakfast, try boiling some oats or other grains with ground cloves or whole cloves. 

Rice Dishes 

The aromatic scent of cloves can completely change the flavour of winter rice recipes. To enhance the flavour of the rice, either add whole cloves to the cooking water or combine ground cloves with the spices. 

Baked Goods 

Incorporate cloves into your holiday recipes to get into the spirit. For all your holiday baking needs, try using cloves in your spiced cakes, gingerbread men, or cinnamon rolls. They bring out the full flavour of the season.
