Bay leaf and lemon tea with cinnamon, a tea suitable for combating colds, truly good, light, and delicious. And it is prepared in a few minutes.
In fact, my advice is to prepare it a few hours before consuming it.
In this way, the ingredients will flavor and blend with each other.
For this recipe, I used bay leaves, a very common aromatic and medicinal plant.
In theory, bay is a tree, whose wood emits the same scent as the leaves. Its use in cooking is very versatile, in fact, we can use it both to flavor dishes and to prepare decoctions and liqueurs.
