- 2 dried bay leaves preferably organic
- 2 cups water
- Optional: small strip of orange peel, cinnamon stick, or drizzle of honey
Rinse the bay leaves under cool water to remove any dust or residue.
Bring 2 cups of water to a boil in a small pot.
Add the bay leaves and reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Let simmer uncovered for 5 to 7 minutes.
Remove from heat and let steep for an additional 2 to 3 minutes if you'd like a stronger flavor.
Strain into a mug and sweeten with honey or add optional aromatics like orange peel or cinnamon for a flavorful touch. Enjoy!
