Bay Leaf Tea

I never knew why people used Bay leaves
to flavor soup pots and stews until
I did this bay leaf tea recipe.
The Bay Leaf, found in most kitchens
comes from the Laurel family and is a
popular culinary herb used in soups,
stews and Mediterranean foods.
The bay leaf plant can be found in
North American and European gardens.

4 fresh bay leaves
1 1/2 cup water
sugar to taste
milk to taste (optional)

Directions:
Place the leaves in one cup of water,
bring to a boil in microwave oven.
Sweeten to taste.
