How to Make Clove Lemonade Base
- In a saucepan, combine 4 cups of water, 1 cup of sugar, and 1/4 cup of whole cloves.
- Gently heat the mixture over medium heat, stirring until the sugar dissolves completely.
- Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat and simmer for 2 minutes.
- Remove from heat and let the mixture steep for at least 30 minutes to allow the clove flavor to infuse. The longer it steeps, the stronger the clove flavor will be.
- Strain the mixture through a fine-mesh sieve or cheesecloth into a clean container, discarding the cloves.
- Allow the concentrate to cool completely before transferring it to an airtight container and storing it in the refrigerator.
- To make a single serving of lemonade, combine 3 tablespoons of clove concentrate with 8 ounces of water and ice in a glass.
- Garnish with fresh mint leaves or lemon slices, if desired.
