I never have whole cloves, allspice, or cheesecloth. So, I use about 1/4 tsp. ground for each and fold it up in a coffee filter and place it in the pot. If it starts to get overpowering, I remove the filter. If it needs more, I just sprinkle it in a dash at a time, but I usually won't do that right away because it gets stronger the longer it sits. In fact, I think this is actually better on the second day.
