Advantages

Orange peels are rich in vitamin C, flavonoids and other antioxidants. These compounds can help protect cells from damage caused by free radicals, responsible for premature aging and some chronic diseases.

Cloves, on the other hand, are a good source of antioxidants, minerals, and essential oils. They have antibacterial, anti-inflammatory and digestive properties.

Therefore, orange peel and clove infusion can be an excellent option for:

  • Strengthen the immune system.
  • Protect cells from damage caused by free radicals.
  • Fight bacteria and infections.
  • Reduce inflammation
  • Promote digestion

Variants

The infusion of orange zest and cloves can be customized according to your tastes. For example, you can add other ingredients, such as:

  • Cinnamon
  • Ginger
  • Apple
