Handy for a toothache and a must-have in mulled wine! Cloves are the dried, unopened flower buds of a tropical tree with an earthy, spicy and slightly sweet aroma and flavour. Cloves are shaped like a nail with four unopened petals encasing a round ball, the pointy end being particularly useful when adding to a Christmas ham, as they can be spiked into the exterior making stunning patterns while imparting their warming flavour and aroma.
