Here’s how you make this great syrup
It is a very simple recipe that you can perform completely autonomously. The first thing to do is to get some brown sugar; you will need 12 tablespoons to pour into a pot. Put the pot with the sugar on a stove over low heat and stir constantly until the sugar has the consistency of caramel. At this point, pour in 100 ml of water, continue stirring and bring to a boil.
While the mixture is cooking on the stove, you can take your bay leaves: ten will suffice. Proceed by chopping the leaves well. If you’re wondering how bay leaf can help you feel better, it’s because its leaves have an antiseptic effect, excellent for getting rid of coughs, even the most stubborn ones. After you have chopped the leaves, you can add them to the sugar and water cooking on the stove, and let them cook for another 15 minutes. After cooking, let the mixture cool completely. Once it is cooled and the bay leaves have displaced all their positive properties, you can proceed by filtering the syrup through a sieve. Ideally, you put it in a glass with a lid.

Now it’s the lemon’s turn: You need to squeeze the juice of an entire lemon through the juicer. Thanks to the juicer, you will get a smooth juice without seeds or lemon pulp. Then add it to the syrup, stirring with a spoon.
This is a syrup that you can keep for a long time in the pantry or refrigerator. By taking a tablespoon when needed, you can free your airways and breathe deeply. It also tastes excellent.
