: OK, I'm holiday baking, using cloves and cinnamon, and jonesing for
: my next henna. I wonder what is the mose effective way to use cloves
: (seems everyone likes 'em, and therefore must have an opinion!)..
: so, do you brew a "tea" - (ground or whole?)and strain it into your
: mix, or just chuck the ground cloves into the henna (and how does
: your plumbing feel about that?).....I'm thinking about boiling the
: powder and filtering through a coffee filter.
: Any thoughts anyone.

I put ground cloves in the henna. For a day or two after that, I feel "wired", or
something like that. My hair smells like cloves, even when dry, and even my urine
smells like cloves. I hennaed one Saturday night and the next Monday evening I
was leaving work and a dog left his woman and followed me - I must have smelled
delicious.

: And, um, anyone ever try cardamom for scent <G>

I'm sure Elettaria will have something to say about that ;)
