1 cup (medium) of Hibiscus clove tea (240 g) has 2 calories. That works out to 1 calories per 100 g. It contains 0.5 g of carbs, 0.2 g of protein, 0 g of fat and 0 g of fiber. Its glycemic index is 0 (low), so it raises blood sugar slowly.
Hibiscus clove tea is an infusion of dried hibiscus calyces and whole cloves, producing a clear, deep-red drink. Hibiscus infusions are especially familiar in parts of Africa and the Middle East, while the clove lends this blend a warming, aromatic edge.
Its tart, fruity flavour is balanced by clove’s bold spice. Enjoy it hot after a meal or as an afternoon drink, or chill it and serve over ice in warmer weather. It is caffeine-free and very low in calories when served plain. If you prefer a softer-tasting cup, steep it briefly or add a slice of citrus; a little cinnamon also complements the floral, spicy notes.

Steep dried hibiscus petals and whole cloves in hot water, then strain. You can drink hibiscus clove tea plain or add lemon or a sweetener. Using more cloves gives the drink a stronger, warmer spice flavor.
Hibiscus clove tea tastes tart and fruity from the hibiscus, with a warm, aromatic spice note from the cloves. Add a little sweetener if you prefer to soften the tartness, or use fewer cloves for a subtler spice flavor.
Hibiscus clove tea is a caffeine-free way to add variety to your fluids, and hibiscus contains antioxidant compounds. It has not been shown to treat disease, so it should not replace prescribed medicine or medical care.
Hibiscus tea may lower blood pressure modestly in some people, but the effect is not guaranteed and evidence for the clove combination is limited. If you take blood-pressure medicine, ask your doctor before drinking it regularly.
No, hibiscus clove tea made only with hibiscus and cloves is naturally caffeine-free. A blend that also contains black or green tea will have caffeine, so check the ingredients if you are buying a premade mix.
Most healthy adults can include hibiscus clove tea as a daily drink. Keep it moderate and avoid very concentrated servings if they upset your stomach; people taking blood-pressure medicine should ask a clinician about regular use.
Hibiscus clove tea does not cause weight loss on its own. Unsweetened, it can replace a sugary drink, but there is no established fat-burning effect from the tea itself.
Yes, hibiscus clove tea is caffeine-free, so it is not expected to disrupt sleep through caffeine. Drinking a large cup right before bed may still wake you to use the bathroom.
It is best not to drink hibiscus clove tea regularly or in concentrated amounts during pregnancy because hibiscus safety in pregnancy is not well established. A small culinary amount of clove is different from drinking a strong herbal infusion.
Yes, hibiscus clove tea can be served cold as well as hot. Brew it first, let it cool, and pour it over ice; lemon complements the tart hibiscus flavor.
