: Where do you find cloves .. and what are they? how much to put?

The clove is the unopened flower bud of a tree called Syzygium aromaticum or
Eugenia caryophyllata in the myrtle family. I get it at the local health food store.
Clove powder smells VERY strongly of something which smells a bit like a dentist's
office (but two-week old clove in hair smells a lot better than a dentist's office,
and the gal who first noticed it on a rainy day used to work for a dentist). Clove
essential oil is largely eugenol, the preliminary anesthetic dentists use.

The name for clove in most Romance languages is derived from caryophylla:
girofle, garofalo.
