Ingredients:
- 5 fresh bay leaves
- 1 large lemon
- 2 cups of water
Instructions:
- Prepare the Bay Leaves: Start by washing the bay leaves thoroughly to remove any dirt or impurities.
- Boil the Water: Pour the water into a saucepan and bring it to a boil.
- Add the Bay Leaves: Once the water is boiling, add the bay leaves and let them simmer for about 10 minutes. This allows the beneficial compounds in the bay leaves to infuse into the water.
- Prepare the Lemon: While the bay leaves are simmering, wash the lemon and cut it into thin slices.
- Combine and Simmer: After 10 minutes, add the lemon slices to the saucepan. Let the mixture simmer for another 10-15 minutes.
- Strain the Syrup: Remove the saucepan from the heat and strain the mixture into a clean jar or bottle, discarding the bay leaves and lemon slices.
- Cool and Store: Allow the syrup to cool to room temperature before sealing the jar. Store it in the refrigerator.
