Instructions
To make bay leaf tea, add 3 large West Indian bay leaves to a saucepan of water (fresh leaves).
Bring the water to a boil. Allow the tea to boil for 5 minutes, and then turn off the heat.
Let the bay leaves steep for an additional 3 minutes.
Strain out the bay leaves and serve the tea hot.
If you're adding a natural sweetener or milk, do so in moderation, as the flavor is quite delicate.
