Pour boiling water into a heat-proof glass in which you will make the drink and leave for a couple of minutes to warm up (this insures the cup and your drink will stay warm longer). Pour out the water.
Slice the lemon and squeeze out the juice.
Press cloves into the lemon slice and add it to the glass.
Add 1/2 cup of boiling water, lemon juice, then honey, and stir until dissolved.
