Recipe using bay leaves: a traditional remedy

Step-by-Step Preparation

  • Start by pouring 1 liter of water into a saucepan and bringing it to a boil.
  • Once the water begins to simmer, add the bay leaves.
  • Let them steep over low heat for 5 to 10 minutes, without prolonging the heating too much to preserve their aroma.
  • Remove the pan from the heat, cover it, and let it rest for another 5 minutes. This allows the flavors to fully develop.
  • Strain the infusion and pour it into a cup.
  • Drink it plain to appreciate its full flavor, or add a little honey if you prefer a softer taste.
