Cloves (Syzygium aromaticum) are the dried, unopened flower buds of an evergreen tree native to the spice islands of Indonesia 🌿. Each bud is shaped like a tiny nail with a rounded four-point crown, which is exactly how it got its name: clou, the old French word for nail. Whole buds keep their fragrant oils locked inside far longer than pre-ground powder, and one clove goes a long way: a few buds perfume an entire pot of chai, a simmering mulled cider, or a holiday ham 🌱.
