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.
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.
