In a small saucepan, bring 1.5 cups of water to a gentle boil over medium heat.
Reduce the heat to low and add the fresh lemon juice, honey, and cinnamon stick to the saucepan. Stir until the honey is fully dissolved.
Allow the mixture to simmer for 5 minutes so the flavors can meld together. If using cloves, add them during this step.
