cloves

They are certainly not the type of spice suitable for every type of recipe, however, cloves are certainly much appreciated by those who love to give flavor and aroma to their recipes, and in particular, to typical preparations based on roasts, broths and, why not, also delicious desserts, teas, various types of wines and, finally, herbal teas. In the past, especially in medieval times, cloves were considered a real cure-all for treating ailments such as headaches or, again, they were used at the Chinese court to prevent courtiers from speaking to the emperor.
