Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat.
Once boiling, reduce the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.

Serving and Storage Tips:
Enjoy this tea freshly brewed for the most potent flavor and health benefits.
If you prefer to make a larger batch, store the brewed tea in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat before serving.
Adjust the strength of the tea by altering the steeping time. The longer it steeps, the more robust the flavors will be.
You can also prepare the ginger and clove infusion ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator, then mix it with hot water when ready to drink.
