Equipment

  • Pot
  • Strainer

Ingredients
  

  • Bay leaves
  • 2 cups Water
  • Honey

Instructions
 

  • Start by adding two cups of water to a saucepan. Bring the pan to a boil.
  • Add the 4-5 bay leaves in the boiling water. It’s ok if the leaves aren’t perfect. When bay leaves are dried, they crumble easily.
  • Once the pot begins to boil, turn off the stove and allow the bay leaves to steep for 5 minutes. This duration allows for maximum flavor extraction. The longer it steeps, the stronger the strength of the tea.
  • Use a strainer over your teacup and carefully pour the brewed tea through the strainer.
  • Sweeten the tea with a teaspoon of honey or sugar. Add additional sweetener to the preferred taste.
