To make clove lemon tea, steep whole cloves in hot water, then add fresh lemon juice. Strain the cloves before serving. Adding the juice after steeping keeps the lemon’s bright flavor from being muted by prolonged heating.
Clove lemon tea may soothe a sore throat temporarily because it is a warm drink, but it does not treat the cause of the irritation. Honey can make it more soothing for adults and children over one year old.
Yes, clove lemon tea is naturally caffeine-free when made with just cloves, lemon, and water. Mixing in black or green tea adds caffeine, so the final drink is no longer caffeine-free.
Whole cloves are usually better for clove lemon tea because they infuse the water without leaving gritty particles. If you use ground cloves, use a small amount and strain the drink through a fine sieve.
Most adults can enjoy a mild cup of clove lemon tea as a regular beverage. Avoid making it extremely strong or using concentrated clove products as tea; large amounts may irritate the mouth or stomach.
Yes, clove lemon tea can be served iced. Brew it a little stronger than you would for a hot cup, strain out the cloves, add lemon, and chill it before pouring over ice.
Add lemon juice after the clove infusion has been taken off the heat. This preserves its fresh, tangy aroma. If you want a stronger citrus note, add a strip of washed lemon peel while the cloves steep.
There is no strong evidence that clove lemon tea improves digestion. Its warmth may feel comforting after a meal, but lemon’s acidity or a strong clove infusion can worsen reflux or stomach irritation in some people.
Keep clove lemon tea in a covered container in the refrigerator and drink it within 1–2 days. Discard it if it develops an unusual smell or appearance, and avoid leaving it at room temperature for hours.
Large or concentrated amounts of clove may affect blood clotting, so people taking blood-thinning medication should ask their healthcare professional before drinking strong clove lemon tea regularly. An occasional mild cup is different from using clove extracts.

Clove lemon tea is a fragrant hot infusion made by steeping lemon and whole cloves in water; it need not contain tea leaves. It can be prepared with fresh lemon slices or a little juice, while the number of cloves controls how warmly spiced it tastes.
Served hot, it suits a chilly afternoon or a light drink after a meal, and can be enjoyed plain or with a little honey. Lemon brings a bright, tart note, balanced by clove’s aromatic warmth. When left unsweetened, it is very low in calories—2 per 100 g. For a lighter cup, skip added sweetener; it also pairs well with plain biscuits.
Low
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
Medium
An EatBetter score computed from fiber, protein and calorie density. A high score means staying full longer on the same calories.
Both scores are calculated per 100 g and do not change with the selected portion. The satiety score is EatBetter's own calculation, not a clinical measure.
