I followed your recipe, and found the taste of cloves to be almost overwhelming. We prefer a much more lemony or tart flavor. If I make it again, I would cut way back on the cloves.Thanks for posting.

Leta, I love the taste of this lemonade base. I used 3 limes and 4 lemons to make 1 1/2 cups. I didn't have whole cloves, so I used 1/4 tsp. ground cloves. This is just delicious! Thanks!( sipping on a nice cold glass....)
