As a Greek-American, I grew up with bay leaves used as an herb in roasts, soups, & stews, but wondered what else they could be used for in recipes. After researching recipes online, I learned that bay leaves can be boiled along with herbs and spices such as ginger & cinnamon to make a lovely, warm, uplifting tea. Here's the recipe!
