History
Well known as a domestic spice worldwide. The dried spice, steeped in
wine, was formerly given to ease the pain of childbirth.
This tradition somewhat continues in various northern European countries,
where red wine is steeped with various spices, among them clove and
cinnamon, for the popular "Gluhwein" (translate this as "glowing
wine", which probably refers to the red cheeks it creates when
consumed).
