Authentic Bay Leaf & Clove Infusion

Ingredients
​2–3 dried bay leaves
​5–6 whole cloves
​2 cups of water
​1 teaspoon of honey (optional, for taste)
​Instructions
​Boil the Water: Pour two cups of water into a small pot and bring it to a rolling boil.
​Add the Aromatics: Drop in the bay leaves and whole cloves.
​Simmer: Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid (to keep the beneficial essential oils from evaporating), and let it simmer for 8 to 10 minutes.
​Steep: Turn off the heat and let the tea sit, covered, for another 5 minutes. The water will turn a beautiful golden-amber color.
​Strain and Serve: Strain the tea into a mug, stir in a bit of honey if desired, and enjoy warm.
