Here’s a refined, traditional-style explanation and recipe for Clove Air — a small sip with great strength, just as you described. 🌿
Clove Air
A simple drink with power
Clove Air is a concentrated herbal infusion made from cloves. It’s taken in very small sips because cloves are extremely potent. Traditionally, it’s used for warmth, digestion, circulation, and respiratory support.

Why It’s Powerful

Because of this potency, less is more.
